faded brown eyes

conlee, john

her eyes were brown like acorns in the snow

but they could shine like heaven's brightest star

as i followed every restless wind that blows

she'd say

baby

i love you as you are

she picked up my pieces time and time again

her brown eyes never showed a trace of blue

faded brown eyes crying so blue

faded brown eyes from all they been through

the light of love slowly died as she lost faith in me

faded brown eyes

faded dreams

i used to make her laugh until she cried

she dreamed my dreams as if they were her own

i never saw the goodbye in her eyes

until her will to give was all but gone

some may wonder why she went away

and i'm the only one to really know

i can still see her faded brown eyes crying so blue

faded brown eyes from all they been through

the light of love slowly died as she lost faith in me

faded brown eyes

faded dreams

the light of love slowly died as she lost faith in me

faded brown eyes

faded dreams
