Sad Eyes Lyrics

Southern style, things are slow
You're watching all the speeding cars
Moving like you wish you could
But, oh, it's too bad
Cause they drove away your happiness
And good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one
To make them go away

You're so young and so bored
You were staying out 'til late
Cause it was what your husband hated
But, oh, it's too bad
Cause he's stolen all your happiness
And good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one
To make them go away
Yeah, you could make them go away

Took a lot of tears
But all you had to find was
Sympathetic years
The ones you left behind, yeah
Took a lot of tears
But all you had to find was
Sympathetic years
The ones you left behind

And I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one
To make them go away, yeah

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one
To make them go away
Things are gonna go your way
Yeah, they're gonna go your way
Oh, they're bound to go your way

love how it builds up to the end, great song. to me it's about helping yourself, and getting out of self pity.

Anyone have any idea what he means by "sympathetic years"? I would initially say he's simply saying to remember the meaningful relationships from one's past, but it seems deeper than that.
