Blue Ribbon Eyes Blue Ribbon Eyes I wish I could be In North Carolina Lying under the trees You and me, baby Birds flying by Looking into your blue ribbon eyes Driving to Hamlet You said, matter of fact That you'd always love her And none after that I swallowed big tears Under pretty blue skies Memories of love in your blue ribbon eyes Why, oh, why Did you tempt my heart with love You, only you, made me believe in heaven above Now I know there's a hell 'Cause I'm burning inside You smiled and you kissed me Strong arms held me tight We laughed in the meadow You called me "first prize" I'll never forget your blue ribbon eyes
