Shades of Blue

There was a little boy With cornflower eyes Who sat on a step And silently cried. There was no one to play with There was no one to care There was no one to stroke His golden blond hair. Many years passed And the little boy grew Until he met a girl With eyes of sapphire blue. 'Where were you when I was small? Asked the man with cornflower eyes. 'Where were you when I sat on that step And cried and cried?' The beautiful girl with sapphire eyes Looked at the young man and sweetly smiled. She stroked his hair and kissed his lips. 'While you sat on that step and silently cried I lived deep in your heart, but now I'm here for a while.' So the young man with cornflower eyes And the beautiful girl with eyes of sapphire blue Were happy at last in their love strong and true.
