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 a love bell
It 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!

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

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

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
Oh it tasted so sweet!

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