I knew a girl and she had the most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen in all my life But I only see her face in my dreams So when I go to sleep, she's all I see [Chorus:] Oh, Madeline, you're on my mind I see you wherever I go And it's been some time but I won't lie I've missed you, my Madeline We used to be like two birds and a tree Then we both flew away and we never came back But when I was gone, she was all that I wanted
Oh, my, stupid me, how could I do that? [Chorus] So many days have come and gone I'm always wondering where you are I hope I can see you sometime It's been so long, where have you been? And can I see you again, my darling? And now she's still gone and our love has moved on But her eyes will always be looking back at me [Chorus]
