  • I've got your hazel eyes
    And a streak that is blue
    They say it's uncanny
    How much I remind them of you
    I've got your photographs
    And your old violin
    And that makes a difference
    Giving me glimpses of who you had been
    And all I can do is keep singing for you
    Pining for someone who I never knew
    Hard to believe it was over before it began
    I just wasn't part of your plan
    Barbara Ann
    I went to Robin Hill
    On the old Cheshire Farm
    Where lilies grow wild
    That's how I imagine you there
    I saw the empty house
    Where you tried to come home
    But you didn't stay very long
    I guess you kept searching for where you belong
    And all I can do is keep singing for you
    Pining for someone who I never knew
    Hard to believe it was over before it began
    I just wasn't part of your plan
    Barbara Ann
    Too late for hello
    You can never know me
    Sad I waited just a little bit too long
    To try and get in touch with you
    And all I can do is keep singing for you
    Pining for someone who I never knew
    Hard to believe it was over before it began
    I just wasn't part of your plan
    Barbara Ann
    I've got your hazel eyes
    And a streak that is blue
    They say it's uncanny
    How much I remind them of you Writer/s: ELAINE SUMMERS, PETER KEITH DROGE
