Brown Eyed Girl
Boyz Nite Out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Days when the rains came ?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Laying in the green grass
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
Dee dah la dee dah la dee dah la
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d
The song "Brown Eyed Girl" by Boyz Nite Out is an ode to young love and nostalgia. The opening verse sets the stage for a memory that is vivid but distant, recalling days when the rain came and they played games in the hollow. The imagery of laughing and running through the misty morning fog with their hearts thumping creates a sense of anticipation and excitement. The chorus directly addresses the girl with brown eyes, implying that she may have been a love interest during this time.
The second verse continues to recall memories of youth, mentioning a transistor radio and hiding behind a rainbow's wall. The imagery of slipping and sliding along the waterfall creates a sense of carefree abandon. Again, the chorus addresses the brown-eyed girl, solidifying the idea that she was central to this time period in the singer's life.
The bridge of the song takes a more melancholic turn, with the singer expressing how difficult it is to find their way all alone. However, the final verse brings us back to happier times by recounting a past encounter with the brown-eyed girl who has grown up. The lyric "cast my memory back there" shows that this love is just a memory now, but one that brings the singer joy nonetheless.
Overall, "Brown Eyed Girl" is a nostalgic and romantic song that speaks to the fleeting nature of love and youth.
