Lyrics
V1
Sweet brown eyes; so soft with care
I'll always remember the love you shared
I watched your sunrise; then move to mid-day
In your summer sunset; you passed away
You lived your life hard; you lived your life well
You left me fond memories and great stories to tell
You were all that is good; you were all that is right
The stars shone brighter on that sad summer night
Chorus
But I know that you're up there happy sitting watching butterflies in heaven
But I know that you're up there happy sitting watching butterflies in heaven
V2
In your youth; you loved to explore
And in your old age; you would not ignore
The wonderful sounds; I never could hear
Your passion for life is something I hold dear
Seasons went by; sun and snow
Your cycle of life; I saw come and go
You're still in my thoughts; you beat in my heart
A love at this level never can part
(Chorus)
Bridge
Live you life for day and night
Live your life if you're wrong or right
Live your life with all your might
Live your life and watch it take flight
