[Verse 1]
A silver line around your velvet eyes
I know in heaven mama cries for you
So many times you couldn't get along
I still don't know what happened to your love

[Pre-Chorus]
But I still miss you every minute
Every day and every hour
I still feel the warmth you gave me
Though time's no longer ours

[Chorus]
Now sometimes I've got these black eyes
And they get darker than a thunderstorm
In the middle of a conversation even in the chorus of this song
Oh, these black eyes keep me worried
These black eyes can't keep holding on
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from

[Verse 2]
There's so many stories I don't know
A lot of them happened so long ago
I felt it that time you were leaving
The thought of that continued in your heartbeat
[Pre-Chorus]
But I still miss you every minute
Every day and every hour
I still feel the warmth you gave me
Though time's no longer ours

[Chorus]
Now sometimes I've got these black eyes
And they get darker than a thunderstorm
In the middle of a conversation even in the chorus of this song
Now these black eyes keep me worried
These black eyes can't keep holding on
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from

[Pre-Chorus]
But I still miss you every minute
Every day and every hour
I still feel the warmth you gave me
Though time's no longer ours

[Chorus]
Now sometimes I've got these black eyes
And they get darker than a thunderstorm
In the middle of a conversation even in the chorus of this song
Now these black eyes keep me worried
These black eyes can't keep holding on
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from
