Brown Eyed Lady

(album: Sweet As Funk Can Be - 1972)

Man, ain't nothing in the world
Like a big, brown eyed lady

Hmm, hmm, hmm

Oh how lovely in the morning
When she turns to greet the day
Always with a gentle touch
And the tender word to say

Then she offers me her warm arms
And the shelter of her smile
She's all that really matters
All that makes my life worthwhile

And if trouble comes
We'll let it happen
She won't cry
Cause I'll be standing by
To guide my brown eyed lady

Sinking sun
My work is done
And so I hurry home again
Such a surprise
Lights up her eyes
To welcome me as I walk in

Oh, I spent the evening dreaming
In the comfort of her love
That's what means the most to me
Her love is love enough

We kiss and then
Sweet bliss begins
Through joy and strife
I know I'll spend my life
Beside my brown eyed lady
