Lyrics
Brown-Eyed Boy
brown-eyed boy I miss you
my sweet boy I miss you
what I wouldn?t give to
be with you again?
I miss you drinking from the john
your paw upon my arm
when my hands forgot to pet you
I miss you waiting by the door
your joy when we came home
and your sorrow when we left you
brown-eyed boy I miss you
my sweet boy I miss you
what I wouldn?t give to
be with you again?
how you loved to go for rides
your ears perked up so high
your nose up in the air and twitching
I miss you running for your ball
giving it your all
like nothing else existed
who was I to you?
who?d you see when you looked into my eyes?
was I your God, was I your dad
was I a member of the pack
or just some guy you really liked?
brown-eyed boy God bless you
my sweet boy God bless you
feel my love caress you
you rest now
in peace,
in peace?
