Lyrics
Brown-Eyed Son
[v1]
If I had to choose
between the things that I have won
and those that I have loved
I could let some go
but not you my brown-eyed son.
Because I never knew
a love that I could not outrun
until I held you first
in my arms that day,
oh you my brown-eyed son.
[v2]
I have watched you grow,
and I have seen your changes come,
It's like a freight train,
rolling on down the line,
for you my brown-eyed son.
And though this world is hard,
it's from this world that we are spun.
Don't let it make you cold,
or take that heart,
from you my brown-eyed son.
[bridge]
I've got a reason for living.
If I've taken more than I've given,
Well, I could be forgiven... uh huh, oh.
[v3]
And when the sun sinks low,
and my time down here is done,
oh just let me go
and stand up tall,
oh you, my brown-eyed son.
Because I never knew
a love that I could not outrun
until I held you first
in my arms that day,
oh you my brown-eyed son
Beautiful song. I'm sitting here with tears. Love it.
