"Brown Eyed Girl"

— by Van Morrison

 

Dedicated to my good friend Liz and all those weekends we spent doing tequila shots and lemon drop shots, one after the other, singing this song over and over and over and over … la la dee DA!! … while the guys played pool upstairs … then later, stripping and slipping off to hang outside in the hot tub, watching the snow fall around us and thinking, life was good …

 

 

Hey where did we go, 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 nornin' fog with our hearts a-thumpin' on and you
My brown-eyed girl
You my — brown-eyed girl

Whatever happened to Tuesday's so slow
Goin' down to the old mine with a transistor radio
Standin' in the sunlight laughin', hidin' behind a rainbow's wall
Slippin' and a-slidin' all along the waterfall with you
My brown-eyed girl
You my — brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to say

Sha la la la…
Sha la la la
La dee da
Sha la la la…
Sha la la la
La dee da

So hard to find my way,now that im on my own
I saw you just the other day
My how you have grown, cast my mem'ry back there Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome, thinkin' about it
Making love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You my — brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing

Sha la la la…
Sha la la la
La dee da
La dee DA.
