Lyrics

Brown Eyed Girl

By: Van Morrison

1967

Hey where did we go

Days when the rains came

Down in a hollow

Playin` a new game

Laughin` and a runnin`

Skippin` and a jumpin`

In the misty mornin` fog

Ah with our hearts a thumpin`

Was you my brown eyed girl

You my brown eyed girl

Now what ever happened

Tuesday is oh so slow

Goin` down the old mine with a

Transistor radio

Standin` in a sunlit lane

Hidin` `hind a rainbow`s wall

Slippin` and a slidin` yeah

All along the waterfall

It was 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 ti da

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da

So hard to find my way

Now that I`m on my own

Thought about it just the other day

My, where`d the times all gone

Can`t remember back then Lord

Sometimes I`m overcome thinkin` `bout

Makin` love in the green grass

Uh 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 ti da

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da Yeah

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da Oh oh oh oh

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da Oh oh oh oh

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da

Background Vocals: Rita Coolidge, David Lasley, Arnold McCuller
