Brown Eyed Girl
Length: 3:03

Opening Lyrics:
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin’ a new game
Laughin’ and a-runnin’, hey, hey
Skippin’ and a-jumpin’
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping and you
And you, my brown-eyed girl
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding ‘hind a rainbow’s wall
Slipping and sliding

Also, younger than the sun
‘Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic

I wanna hear it
I don’t have to fear it

With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
‘Neath the cover of October skies
To the sound of the breezes that blow
You know I’m tryin’ to please to the calling
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low
You know the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love?

Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Opening Lyrics:
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
Oh the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine
Like the sun
At the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the One
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
