Lyrics - Maid With the Bonnie Blue Eyes
©1998 Jackie Henrion/Mamaloose Music Inc. (ASCAP)
There once was a young man
Who lived by the ocean
Some say his cold heart
Was the hardest of stone
He’d travel to lands far away
And nearby him
With never a kind word to anyone shown
His fields they cannot grow green
No stars will shine in his sky
But somewhere there wanders
The fairest young maiden
Who’d warm his cold heart
With her bonnie blue eyes
This young man slew lions
and bears in the city
He smote all his enemies
Without a care
He’d battle from daybreak
To dark if he’s able
And no one would venture
To cross his dark stare
His eyes they cannot find piece
Hi mind cannot be wise
But somewhere there sighs
The softest young maiden
Who’d bring out his smile
With her bonnie blue eyes
One day he went walking
Along a dark pathway
He needed to wander
But did not know why
Past shadows and dragons
He could not see clearly
It was the most frightening
Day of his life
His armor had started to dull
His sword had become his disguise
But a light in the distance
Drew closer toward him
The light of the maid
With the bonnie blue eyes
And then came the clearing
So bright it was blinding
With colors so brilliant
It brought him to tears
And music so soft
it was barely a whisper
And warmth that would melt
All his doubts and his fears
The light caress of her hand
The open look of surprise
Then slowly he knew
Where he was at that moment
Alone with the maid
With the bonnie blue eyes
