BROWN EYED BABY
(Ian M. Bruce/Charlie Milne)

Goodbye my baby, my first born baby.
My brown eyed baby you will always be.
Promise as you leave here....
You'll remember me.

Demons danced so crazy in my mind.
Comfort and joy, they seemed so hard to find.
Then you were born; I saw your big brown eyes.
No more demons.
Just love and lullabies.

Goodbye my baby, my first born baby.
My brown eyed baby you will always be.
Promise as you leave here....
You'll remember me.

You came along when I was feeling small.
I was walking the tightrope.
I was trying not to fall.
You came along when I was alone.
My closest friend - the silent telephone.

Goodbye my baby, my first born baby.
My brown eyed baby you will always be.
Promise as you leave here....
You'll remember me.

I watched you grow as you looked to me.
Our every move was shaping who you'd be.
We shared pleasure, we shared pain.
We'd lock horns every now and then.

Goodbye my baby, my first born baby.
My brown eyed baby you will always be.
Promise as you leave here....
You'll remember.......

Middle
You have a love that's different from the plan.
So, we have a son who loves another man.
We wish you peace and comfort with your 'choice'.
We just thank God, you finally found your voice.

From our embrace we open up our arms,
Unfold the fingers and feel the slipping palms.
This gentle parting hurts more than tongues can tell.
His arms await, I only hope he treats you well.

And so your love is untraditional
But a mother's love is unconditional.
And so it's time my son for you to go your way.
The rest of your life, don't you know, begins today.

Goodbye my baby, my first born baby.
My brown eyed baby you will always be.
Promise as you leave here....
You'll remember.......
You will please remember me!!!
