Lyrics:
One evening when the sun was lowMy brown eyes whispered: 'I must go!'Not one second would she waitShe kissed my cheek and left my gate!Those brown eyes I loved so wellThose brown eyes I long to seeHow I long for those brown eyesStrangers they have grown to be!One night I met her on the streetI tipped my hat but I could not speakAnother man was by her sideSoon I thought she'd be his bride!Those brown eyes I loved so wellThose brown eyes I long to seeHow I long for those brown eyesStrangers they have grown to be!'Twas just a year ago todayThey laid my own brown eyes awaySix long years for me she criedIt was her brother by her side!Those brown eyes I loved so wellThose brown eyes I long to seeHow I long for those brown eyesStrangers they have grown to be!
