Lyrics of
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain

Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain was written by Fred Rose. The song became most famous when performed by Willie Nelson as part of his 1975 album Red Headed Stranger. The song discusses loss and lamentation, focusing on longing for a lost love, poignantly performed by Nelson. Nelsons rendition not only revitalized his career but also helped to solidify the outsider country music movement at the time.

In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
When we kissed good-bye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
(Instrumental)

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
