When Green Eyes Turn Blue Lyrics - North - Elvis Costello

Every single time 

It becomes too much 

There's nothing I can say 

Or I can touch 

But the glory is, as it comes passing through, 

I know I will be there 

When green eyes turn blue 

It's the same for me 

Time appears to teach 

There is nothing quite beyond our reach 

Wits may sharpen up 

Their cuts and clever flays 

Let them squander all of them 

You brighten up my darkest gaze

And as a consequence I can see out of the gloom 

That I gathered about myself 

That I thought would flatter me 

What the hell was the matter with me

Every single time I approached despair 

I thought of your name and you were there 

I won't burden you 

As promises will do 

But I know I will be there 

When green eyes turn blue.
