DON'T IT MAKE MY BROWN EYES BLUE



Don't know when I've been so blue,

don't know what's come over you.

You've found someone new

and don't it make my brown eyes blue.



I'll be fine when you're gone,

I'll just cry all night long.

Say it isn't true

and don't it make my brown eyes blue.



Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies.

Give me no reasons, give me alibies.

Tell me you love me and don't let me cry,

say anything but don't say goodbye.



I didn't mean to treat you bad,

didn't know just what I had.

But honey now I do

and don't it make my brown eyes,

don't it make my brown eyes,

don't it make my brown eyes blue.



- Richard Leigh
