Linger on, your pale blue eyes ...

One of my favorite Lou Reed/Velvets songs. A nice version here with Pete Townsend. Lyrics are on the second page: 


Sometimes I feel so happy 
Sometimes I feel so sad 
Sometimes I feel so happy 
But mostly you just make me mad 
Baby, you just make me mad 

Linger on your pale blue eyes 
Linger on your pale blue eyes 

Thought of you as my mountain top 
Thought of you as my peak 
A thought of you as everything 
I've had, but couldn't keep 
I've had, but couldn't keep 

Linger on your pale blue eyes 
Linger on your pale blue eyes 

Skip a life completely 
Stuff it in a cup 
They said, Money is like us in time 
It lies, but can't stand up 
Down for you is up 

Linger on your pale blue eyes 
Linger on your pale blue eyes 

It was good what we did yesterday 
And I'd do it once again 
The fact that you are married 
Only proves you're my best friend 
But it's truly, truly a sin 

Linger on your pale blue eyes 
Linger on your pale blue eyes 

If I could make the world as pure 
And strange as what I see 
I'd put you in a mirror 
I'd put in front of me 
I'd put in front of me 

Linger on your pale blue eyes 
Linger on your pale blue eyes

This really is a great song. The first line makes me think back to a summer when I was going to a lot of different concerts. Times were good and I stopped to watched the flowers bloom. Good times.
