Lyrics
I feel the heat of a summer sunrise, and the stirring of a sweet surprise
As she pulls her body close to mine
Staring back at my sleepy face is the sweetest dream I ever chased
And I find myself lost in Nellie's Eyes
Chorus:
Right here in Louisville God made the finest girl
That ever walked under blue Kentucky skies
And when I wake and I see her there, I know the Lord hears all my prayers
And I thank Him for the love in Nellie's Eyes
Morning's gone, I'm hard at work. My hammer rings, and my muscles hurt
But still it feels so good just to be alive
Foreman yells, and we break for lunch, but I don't go with that rowdy bunch
I'll sit right here and think of Nellie's Eyes
Chorus:
Right here in Louisville, God made the finest girl
That ever walked under blue Kentucky skies
When I wake and I see her there, I know the Lord hears all my prayers
And I thank Him for the love in Nellie's Eyes
