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!
