[Chorus]
Those brown eyes I loved so well
Those brown eyes that I long to see
How I long for those brown eyes
Strangers they have grown to be

Just one year ago today
When my brown eyes went way
Up in heaven, where a long to be
A brown-eyed angel waits for me

[Chorus]

Last night I passed her on the street
I bowed my head cuz I could not speak
'nother man was by her side
Soon I thought she'd be his bride

[Chorus]
