|
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. [Chorus:] |
|
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. [Chorus] ' |
|
Twas 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. [Chorus] |
