Brown Eyed Girl Lyrics

[00:15.03] Hey, where did we go?
[00:18.21] Days when the rains came
[00:21.44] Down in the hollow
[00:25.03] Playin' a new game
[00:28.12] Laughing and a running hey, hey
[00:31.39] Skipping and a jumping
[00:34.38] In the misty morning fog with
[00:37.66] Our hearts a thumpin' and you
[00:42.54] My brown-eyed girl
[00:45.43]
[00:47.31] You, my brown-eyed girl
[00:51.79]
[00:54.02] Whatever happened
[00:57.11] To Tuesday and so slow?
[01:00.30] Going down the old mine
[01:01.99] With a transistor radio
[01:07.03] Standing in the sunlight laughing
[01:10.28] Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
[01:13.47] Slipping and sliding
[01:16.39] All along the waterfall, with you
[01:21.36] My brown-eyed girl
[01:26.24] You, my brown-eyed girl
[01:29.46]
[01:31.06] Do you remember when we used to sing?
[01:35.71] Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
[01:40.87] Just like that
[01:42.35] Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
[01:51.99]
[02:01.55] So hard to find my way
[02:04.86] Now that I'm all on my own
[02:07.90] I saw you just the other day
[02:10.90] My, how you have grown
[02:14.26] Cast my memory back there, Lord
[02:17.38] Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout
[02:20.53] Laughing and a runnin' hey hey
[02:23.66] Behind the stadium with you
[02:28.38] My brown-eyed girl
[02:33.02] You, my brown-eyed girl
[02:37.05]
[02:37.81] Do you remember when we used to sing?
[02:42.49] Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
[02:48.81] Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
[02:55.12] Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
[03:01.88]
