Song title: Brown eyed girl
by Van Morrison.
Brown eyed girl
Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running, hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog
With our hearts a thumpin'
And you, my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mind
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall,
With you, my brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when
We used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la
La te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
Laughing and a running, hey, hey
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when
We used to sing... Etc
