misty eyes lyrics

I was missing my
Little miss misty eyes
She made my life complete
I'd been waiting on
True love's sweet surprise
And it tasted so sweet
Oh it tasted so sweet

I could hear
The sound of the love bell
Told me all it could tell
And the sight of
The blue moon rising
Told me all was well
Told me all was well

I was just driftin'
As a wind blown wave
Like a stricken ship
I thought I'd never be saved
So far below me
There seemed so much more
Yet a man has to know
What he's looking for

Something unknown
Kept my life turning around
But I couldn't get near to
Putting my feet on the ground
With all that I had
Any man would be glad
But my everything was nothing
So what made me sad

I was missing my
Little miss misty eyes
She made my life complete
I was waiting on
True love's sweet surprise
And it tasted so sweet
It tasted so sweet

Farewell to that same lonely road
I've seen the last of
That heavy load
No more blues about paying dues
It's time for reaping
All the seeds I sowed
