Lyrics

Sometimes I feel so happy

Sometimes the speaker feels happy.

Sometimes I feel so sad

Sometimes the speaker feels sad.

Sometimes I feel so happy

Repetition of the speaker's fluctuating emotions.

But mostly you just make me mad

Mainly, the person being addressed makes the speaker angry.

Baby you just make me mad

Emphasizes the impact of the addressed person on the speaker's emotions.


Linger on your pale blue eyes

The speaker reflects on the pale blue eyes of the addressed person, possibly a significant and captivating feature.

Linger on your pale blue eyes

-

Thought of you as my mountain top

The speaker had high regard for the addressed person, considering them a metaphorical mountain top, peak, and everything, but couldn't retain them.

Thought of you as my peak

-

Thought of you as everything

-

I've had but couldn't keep

-

I've had but couldn't keep

Emphasizes the inability to keep the person despite their significance.


Linger on your pale blue eyes

Continuation of the contemplation of the addressed person's pale blue eyes.

Linger on your pale blue eyes

-

If I could make the world as pure

If the speaker could shape the world, they would reflect the beauty of the addressed person and keep them close.

And strange as what I see

-

I'd put you in the mirror

-

I put in front of me

-

I put in front of me

Reinforces the desire to keep the person close by putting them in front.


Linger on your pale blue eyes

Reiteration of the fixation on the addressed person's pale blue eyes.

Linger on your pale blue eyes

-

Skip a life completely

A shift in focus, possibly addressing the complexities of life and the deceptive nature of money.

Stuff it in a cup

-

She said, "Money is like us in time

-

It lies but can't stand up

-

Down for you is up"

-

Linger on your pale blue eyes

Returning to the contemplation of the pale blue eyes after the brief shift in focus.

Linger on your pale blue eyes

-

It was good what we did yesterday

Recollection of a past positive experience, acknowledging the addressed person's marital status but expressing a deep connection and a sense of sin.

And I'll do it once again

-

The fact that you are married

-

Only proves you're my best friend

-

But it's truly, truly a sin

-

Linger on your pale blue eyes

Final reflection on the pale blue eyes, indicating a lingering impact on the speaker.

Linger on your pale blue eyes
