Blue-Eyed Boy- Sung by Lizzie Maguire of Fayetteville, Arkansas on August 8, 1958
1. Remember well and bear in mind,
A true, good friend is hard to find,
And when you find one he is true,
Turn him not off for someone new.
Chorus: Bring me back my blue-eyed boy,
Bring my blue eyes to me,
Bring me back my blue-eyed boy,
Oh then how happy would I be.
2. Love is like a little bird,
That flies from tree to tree,
So when he sees a fairer face,
Then he forgets to think of me.
(Chorus)
