<Verse 1>
Brown eyes
They’re the kind most people pass right by
Never write songs about, never chase through the night
But I never saw them that way
When I look at you
I see cypress bark standing tall through the years
Strong enough to weather every storm that appears
Like it was made to stay
⸻
<Pre-Chorus>
And every little thing you are
Feels familiar to my soul
Like I’ve known you all along
Before I even knew your name
⸻
<Chorus>
’Cause those brown eyes
Look like coffee beans on a slow sunrise
Like an old guitar singing my favorite lines
Like a worn-out love letter folded with time
Those brown eyes
When the light shines through, they’re honey and gold
Full of stories that nobody’s told
Most people just see brown
But I see home
⸻
<Verse 2>
Brown eyes
Like leaves resting soft upon the ground
Holding seasons of memories scattered around
Never really gone
Like the Chipola River
Flowing steady no matter where life goes
Carrying pieces of yesterday down below
While still moving on
I see a leather notebook
Worn at the edges and filled with dreams
A thousand hidden pages
Holding more than they seem
⸻
<Pre-Chorus>
And every little thing you are
Feels familiar to my soul
Like I’ve known you all along
Before I even knew your name
⸻
<Chorus>
’Cause those brown eyes
Look like coffee beans on a slow sunrise
Like an old guitar singing my favorite lines
Like a worn-out love letter folded with time
Those brown eyes
When the light shines through, they’re honey and gold
Full of stories that nobody’s told
Most people just see brown
But I see home
⸻
<Bridge>
A warm blanket on a cold December night
A porch light shining when the world ain’t right
A place to rest when I’ve carried too much
A quiet kind of healing in a simple touch
Some people search forever
For a feeling they can’t explain
I found mine looking back at me
Every time you say my name
⸻
<Final Chorus>
Those brown eyes
Look like comfort when the world gets cold
Like a heart that’s steady when I lose my hold
Like a hand reaching out through the dark
Those brown eyes
When the light shines through, they’re honey and gold
And if love has a color, then now I know
It’s not blue skies above
Or some sunset glow
Most people just see brown
But I see home
⸻
<Outro>
Brown eyes…
When the whole world feels unknown
Most people just see brown
But I see home
