"Pale Blue Eyes" lyrics

Saw you in a dream last night
From the corner of my eye
Dancing with a girl in white
You used to say that you would call me sometime
When we got older and you stopped getting high
It's good to know you were making it right
All the while

I was waiting in the car outside
Swore I saw heaven in the headlights
But all my visions were right
Oh, you're leaving me behind
There will be babies with pale blue eyes
And someone who loves you like I've loved you
All of my life
The veil is thinner some nights

I never took you for the marrying type
I always pictured you alone, at the end of each night
How could all my love pass you by
Thank God you made it out alive
And you found that love you could not deny
You really had to hit me hard this time
Ain't it just like you
Baby, you and I

I was waiting with the car in drive
Swore I saw heaven in the headlights
But all my visions were right
Oh, you're leaving me behind
There will be babies with pale blue eyes
And someone who loves you like I've loved you
All of my life
The veil is thinner some nights

I was waiting in the car outside
Swore I saw heaven in the headlights
But you were proving me right
Always leaving me behind
There will be babies with pale blue eyes
And someone who loves you like I've loved you
Since I was a child
The veil is thinner some nights
