Brown Eyes Blue

You made these brown eyes blue You make your baby cry I just don’t understand… Tell me the reason why You said that you love me Confessed desire, too Now you've gone and done it You've made these brown eyes blue I don't mean to blame you And I don't mean to chide, But my broken heart grieves For HER you left my side Now you want to love me You think that I will swoon, When this you KNOW full well, You left me way too soon! Though I do adore you With a love, oh, so true I will not stay around You made these brown eyes blue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The term, "brown eyes blue" was taken from the song by Crystal Gayle, "Don't it Make my Brown Eyes Blue." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh5csU32HE4

I think you will stay around, your just teasing him here, pricking his conscience. Absolutely lovely poem though. I echo Rick on her hair, amazing, like a ready made tent lol. Take care, Richard

I love that song. I was also partial to her long hair. I enjoyed your poem. Stick with your brown eyes. I find brown eyes comforting.
