[Verse 1]
One evening when the moon was low
My brown eyes whispered, "I must go"
Not one moment would she wait
She kissed my cheek and left my gate

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
One evening as I walked the street
My brown eyes I chanced to meet
Another man was by her side
Soon I knew she'd be his bride

[Verse 3]
It was just one year today
They laid my own brown eyes away
Now, up in Heaven for all to see
A brown-eyed angel waits for me

[Chorus]
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
Strangers they have grown to be
