Those Brown Eyes

One evening when the sun was low

My brown eyes whispered, "I must go"

Not one second would she wait

She kissed my cheek and left my gate

Those brown eyes I loved so well

Those brown eyes I long to see

How I long for those brown eyes

Strangers they have grown to be

One night I met her on the street

I tipped my hat but I could not speak

Another man was by her side

Soon I thought she'd be his bride

Those brown eyes I loved so well

Those brown eyes I long to see

How I long for those brown eyes

Strangers they have grown to be

'T was just a year ago today

They laid my own brown eyes away.

Six long years for me she cried

It was her brother by her side

Those brown eyes I loved so well

Those brown eyes I long to see

How I long for those brown eyes

Strangers they have grown to be
