[Verse 1]
Met him out back by the tree line
Boots kicked up on that old tailgate
He laughed and the whole thing rewound
Like I’d known him since the eighth grade
Blue eyes staring straight through my guard
Soft drawl saying, “Girl, you alright?”
Then the clouds rolled off of the pasture
And his eyes flipped colors in the light
[Chorus]
Blue turns green when the sun comes up
Like the river waking up in his cup
Little bit of heaven with a wild in between
Yeah my baby got that blue turns green
One look and I forget my doubts
Storm blows in, he just rides it out
He’s my maybe, he’s my always, he’s my in‑between
My blue‑eyed man that turns green
[Verse 2]
He sings off-key to the radio
Burns the toast, still swears it’s fine
Leaves his hat right there on the table
But he never leaves me behind
We fight ‘bout bills, ‘bout nothin’
Slam doors, say things we don’t mean
Then he pulls me out to the front porch
And his eyes flick lighter, soft and clean
[Chorus]
Blue turns green when the sun comes up
Like the river waking up in his cup
Little bit of heaven with a wild in between
Yeah my baby got that blue turns green
One look and I forget my doubts
Storm blows in, he just rides it out
He’s my maybe, he’s my always, he’s my in‑between
My blue‑eyed man that turns green
[Bridge]
Some love stays one color
Some fade out like old blue jeans
Mine keeps changing with the weather
But he’s steady underneath
When my world feels kinda heavy
He just tilts my face to the sun (hey)
Eyes shining like a secret
And I know I’m his only one
[Chorus]
Blue turns green when the sun comes up
Like the river waking up in his cup
Little bit of heaven with a wild in between
Yeah my baby got that blue turns green
One look and I forget my doubts
Storm blows in, he just rides it out
He’s my maybe, he’s my always, he’s my in‑between
My blue‑eyed man that turns green
