| 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
|
| '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
|
| 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 |
