Sometimes you go through life
Can’t help but feel alone
Find a shining light that makes you feel at home
Find that one so special, a love that is so true
But when you have to leave them it’s the hardest thing you do
As nights keep going by
There’s no one else around
Days turn into months and he’s nowhere to be found
Wish you would have shared your heart when he was loving you
Then you wouldn’t be alone and feeling so blue
Oh a tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek
Lonely nights are all that’s left for me
‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes
Bye-bye
Bye-bye brown eyes
A tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek
Lonely nights are all that’s left for me
‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes
The shadows grow longer with the setting sun
Like my love for you, but when the day is done
I will have no regrets about the love we shared
For when the nighttime comes your shadow won’t be there
Oh a tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek
Lonely nights are all that’s left for me
‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes
Bye-bye
Bye-bye brown eyes
A tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek
Lonely nights are all that’s left for me
‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes
Bye-bye
Bye-bye brown eyes
A tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek
Lonely nights are all that’s left for me
‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes
