Late Night OTB - Willie Nelson
 |
James Joyner | Wednesday, July 25, 2007 |
A live performance of his classic “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.” It was his first #1 single as a performer after several as a songwriter and won him a 1975 Grammy. Ironically, he didn’t write it.
Words and Music by Fred Rose
In the twilight glow I see
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we’d never meet againLove is like a dyin’ ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I’ll remember
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Some day when we meet up yonder
We’ll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no partin’
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
