Lyrics
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
