Brown Eyed Girl
Jacques De Coning Lyrics

Hey where did we go,
Asking the girl where they had gone for a particular purpose

Days when the rains came
Referring to a time in the past characterized by heavy rain

Down in the hollow,
Being in a low place

Playin' a new game,
Engaged in a recently discovered activity

Laughing and a running hey, hey
Having a good time while moving quickly

Skipping and a jumping
Moving with little steps in a lively manner

In the misty morning fog with
Being in an environment characterized by dampness and reduced visibility

Our hearts a thumpin' and you
Referring to an intense emotional state that the girl is also a part of

My brown eyed girl,
Addressing the girl who has brown eyes

You my brown eyed girl.
Stating the fact that the girl is his crush or partner

Whatever happened
Referring to an occurrence in the past that is unclear or uncertain

To Tuesday and so slow
Asking or wondering about the whereabouts of what was formerly known as a slow day

Going down the old mine
Describing a place where people used to go, perhaps for work or other activities

With a transistor radio
Specifically mentioning a type of radio that was popular at the time

Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Being outside in a sunny place and being happy

Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Describing an imaginary situation where a rainbow forms a wall to hide behind

Slipping and sliding
Moving on a slippery surface and having fun while doing so

All along the water fall, with you
Being at a waterfall with the girl mentioned earlier

Do you remember when we used to sing,
Asking the girl if she recalls a past singing activity they engaged in together

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
The specific phrase they used to sing while engaging in a past singing activity

So hard to find my way,
Finding it challenging to navigate through life

Now that I'm all on my own.
Being alone now and feeling unsure or lost

I saw you just the other day,
Encountering the girl recently

My how you have grown,
Commenting on how much she has changed or matured since they last saw each other

Cast my memory back there, Lord
Recollecting memories from the past using a higher authority as a figure of speech

Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Being overwhelmed with thoughts of something in particular

Making love in the green grass
Having romantic intimacy while outdoors in nature

Behind the stadium with you
Being at a specific location with the girl

My brown eyed girl
Referring to the same girl with whom he engaged in romantic activity

You my brown eyed girl
Reiterating the fact that the girl with whom he was romantically involved before is the one he is addressing now

Do you remember when we used to sing
Asking the girl if she recalls when they used to sing together

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
Specific phrase they used to sing when engaging in a past singing activity
