Oh, the lights, they were ***, and the music was playing And my heart, it did beat to the sound of the drum As she stepped through the doorway, her skirt turned rounder, swirling I wonder for who and from where she had come She walked quickly past me and went to another Her blue eyes, they sparkled as she gazed up at him She danced away from me, her black hair a-shinin' She vanished before me, for the lights, they were *** I gazed through the darkness until I could see them He walked to the door with his arm round her waist They vanished, but still her vision stayed with me In her eyes I could see, in her lips I could taste Each night I sit here at the very same table And I stare at the doorway from where she first came And I look for the girl with the blue eyes a-flashin' I can't forget her, though I don't know her name
