The Color of Your Eyes

He reminds me of you
in much younger days
Softly eccentric and set in his ways
He reminds me of you
It's funny and yet
How can he really remind me of someone that I've never met
And P.S. I wish you and I could be friends
Wouldn't that be a lovely surprise
'cause P.S. how sweet to be writing to you
If I knew the color of your eyes
We went for tea at an outdoor cafe
Oh and his eyes are both blue by the way
We talked and we talked
You should have been there
and then he went on about Melville and Whitman
I'm floating on air
and P.S. I blushed when he offered his arm
(P.S. I blushed)
and we walked under fair-weathered skies
And oh how I wish that you'd been with us too
(Oh how I wish)
And I knew the color of your eyes
He made it seem like I'd known him from long ago
(He made it seem like)
Laughed at my jokes though they scarcely seemed apropos
(I knew him some time long ago)
I'm feeling more like a girl and less like a child
(Suddenly I'm all grown up)
Oh what a man I'll never forget
But really the only man I've ever met
Then he took the train
and I heaved a sigh
and Julia got angry cause he left without even saying goodbye
(Julia got angry cause he left not saying goodbye)
and P.S. it's late and I can't get to sleep
(P.S. it's late)
So I'll lay out my soul on the line
(lay out my soul on the line)
What do I care if there's blue in his eyes
(What do I care)
If someday you're looking into mine
One day you'll be looking into mine
