Brown Eyed Girl
The Black Sorrows Lyrics

Hey where did we go
Asking where the time went when they were having such a good time together in the past

Days when the rains came
Talking about the old days when it would rain heavily

Down in the hollow
Referring to a low or depression location

Playin' a new game
Playing a different and exciting game

Laughing and a running hey, hey
Describing the fun they had while laughing and running around

Skipping and a jumping
Describing more fun activities they did together as young people

In the misty morning fog with
Painting a picture of the surrounding when they were together in the past

Our hearts a thumpin' and you
Describing the excitement of being with their friend, 'brown eyed girl'

My brown eyed girl
Referring to their friend with brown eyes

Whatever happened
Questioning what occurred

To Tuesday and so slow
Wondering where the leisurely Tuesday went

Going down the old mine
Talking about the departed days when they visited the old mine

With a transistor radio
Recalling the days when they used the radio in the mine

Standing in the sunlight laughing
Showing happiness and recalling a great past experience

Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Painting a beautiful imagery from past memory

Slipping and sliding
Recalling fun activities done with their friend

All along the water fall, with you
Painting a beautiful picture of the waterfall and their fun moment with their 'brown eyed girl'

My brown eyed girl
Referring to their friend with brown eyes

You my brown eyed girl
Reiterating and emphasizing the beauty of their friend with brown eyes

Do you remember when we used to sing
Recalling past fun times spent singing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Humming an old tune of the past

So hard to find my way
Expressing difficulty in finding one's way without their friend

Now that I'm all on my own
Referring to the present state of being alone

I saw you just the other day
Referring to the day of seeing their 'brown eyed girl'

My how you have grown
Surprised and happy with the growth and changes observed

Cast my memory back there, Lord
Recollecting memories from the past with the help of the divine

Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Being overwhelmed by thoughts of the past

Making love in the green grass
Recalling romantic moments spent in the green grass

Behind the stadium with you
Referring to the earlier location of their romantic moment with the 'brown eyed girl'

Do you remember when we used to sing
Recalling past fun times spent singing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Humming an old tune of the past
