Her eyes were brown like acorns in the snow But they could shine like heaven's brightest star As I followed every restless wind that blows She'd say, baby, I love you as you are She picked up my pieces time and time again Her brown eyes never showed a trace of blue Faded brown eyes crying so blue Faded brown eyes from all they been through The light of love slowly died as she lost faith in me Faded brown eyes, faded dreams I used to make her laugh until she cried She dreamed my dreams as if they were her own I never saw the goodbye in her eyes Until her will to give was all but gone Some may wonder why she went away And I'm the only one to really know I can still see her faded brown eyes crying so blue Faded brown eyes from all they been through The light of love slowly died as she lost faith in me Faded brown eyes, faded dreams The light of love slowly died as she lost faith in me Faded brown eyes, faded dreams
