[Verse 1]
G D7
One evening when the sun was low
G
My brown eyes whispered, "I must go"
D7
Not one moment would he wait
G G7
He kissed my cheek and left the gate
[Chorus]
C G G7
Those brown eyes I love so well
C G
Those brown eyes I long to see, oh-lay-ooh
D7
Now I sigh for those brown eyes
G
Since strangers, they have grown to be
[Verse 2]
G D7
One day, I met him on the street
G
I bowed my head but could not speak
D7
Another girl was by his side
G G7
I thought that soon she'd be his bride
[Chorus]
C G G7
Those brown eyes I love so well
C G
Those brown eyes I long to see, oh-lay-ooh
D7
Now I sigh for those brown eyes
G
Since strangers, they have grown to be

Just one year ago today
G
They laid my own brown eyes away
D7
Up in heaven, when I long to be
G G7
My brown eyed angel waits for me
[Chorus]
C G G7
Those brown eyes I love so well
C G
Those brown eyes I long to see, oh-lay-ooh
D7
Now I sigh for those brown eyes
G
Since strangers, they have grown to be
