Deep Green Eyes
The rugged face I met too late
And too late loved him well
For the ghost of she who haunted him
Had cast him in her spell
Though she be three years dead
I knew he mourned her still
And married again a year to me
But seemed t'was 'gainst his will
Caring I was near or not
He hid not from me his cries
But wept for his Amelia
And her deep, green eyes
It seemed as though t'was I the ghost
And she the one t'was real
Amelia's voice that seemed to speak
And mine the one was still
But lie I would next to him
My love alive and true
Despising my own dreary eyes
Of ordinary blue
The rugged face I met too late
And too late loved him well
For the ghost of she who haunted him
Had cast him in her spell
Though she be three years dead
I knew he mourned her still
And married again a year to me
But seemed t'was 'gainst his will
Caring I was near or not
He hid not from me his cries
But wept for his Amelia
And her deep, green eyes
It seemed as though t'was I the ghost
And she the one t'was real
Amelia's voice that seemed to speak
And mine the one was still
But lie I would next to him
My love alive and true
Despising my own dreary eyes
Of ordinary blue
