THOSE BROWN EYES
As sung by The Rooftop Singers on "The Best of the Vanguard Years" (2006)

CHORUS:
Those brown eyes I love so well.
Those brown eyes I long to see.
How I long for those brown eyes!
Strangers they have grown to be.

1. One evening when the sun was low,
My brown eyes whispered, "I must go."
Not one second could she wait.
She kissed my cheek and left my gate.
CHORUS

2. I walked the streets all through the night
I could not keep her from my sight
Love reaches deep and takes its hold.
My heart was lonely; I was cold.
CHORUS

3. Many years have passed in time.
Many eyes have met with mine.
But when I see the evening skies,
I remember only those brown eyes.
CHORUS

[Verse 1 and the chorus are exactly like the version in the DT, but verses 2 and 3 are quite different.]
