Meeting first though through a screen,
Eyes of brown saw eyes of green.
Then the sense of love was known,
Between eyes of green and eyes of brown.
The years that followed were serene,
For eyes of brown and eyes of green.
Then cruel fate began to frown.
On the eyes of green and eyes of brown.
Great distance now there was between.
Eyes of brown and eyes of brown.
Tears of sadness now poured down,
From eyes of green and eyes of brown.
