Those brown eyes I loved so well
Those brown eyes I longed to see
Now I long for those brown eyes
Strangers they have grown to be

Just a year ago today
My brown eyes have gone away
Now I long to heaven to be
Where brown eyed angels wait for me

Those brown eyes I loved so well
Those brown eyes I longed to see
Now I long for those brown eyes
Strangers they have grown to be

Today I passed her on the street
I bowed my head because 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 longed to see
Now I long for those brown eyes
Strangers they have grown to be
