brown eyes

well she didn't always treat me right        
but I kissed her goodnight every night        
i knew her for most of my life        
and loved her like she was my wife          
         
she gave her love to everyone        
but i always knew i was her man        
then like us all one day she died        
i cant forget her brown eyes        
         
well i'm not the best man all the time        
but when I am the time is mine        
i try to live life like a child        
but I always feel like i'm on trial        
         
i know I took her for granted        
but I always thought she would live        
like a nail that's in my shoe        
I just cant help feeling blue      
         
our memories swell up my brain        
i'll suck them dry like sugar cane        
i see her gravestone everyday          
like some tragic comedy        
         
trying hard not to wonder why        
things work out the way they do        
she's the only one I'll ever say        
i will always love you to
