My husband used to sing this song to me all the time when we were dating. Then alot after we were married too. Every year on my birthday. He passed away three months ago and my birthday is tomorrow. It will be the first birthday I won't hear him sing this song to me . I was 16 when he first started and I'll be 54 tomorrow. I keep listening to it now just to remember him. I miss him so much.
Happy birthday. May he Rest In Peace. Just treasure the memories. Try to seek support from friends and family. He would want you to be showing up and doing your best. Don’t let him down. Take care.
As a brown eyed girl l truly loved these f ING song! However to the woman who'.s husband and he was her special boyfriend first l hope that someone will sing this song to her.Or her husband will sing this song to her in a dream for her birthday!
This is my and my wife’s song for 35 years now. She gave me a hazel eyed girl that has given me 6 blue eyed grandchildren. Blessings to you and yours. Many years my friend!
I married my brown eyed girl, she still takes my breath away. 35 yrs later and three older children. She is amazing and this was my song before I met her and I sang it to her and she said keep my day job. We laughed and just danced to it the other day when we were at our daughters house playing with our grand children. May Jesus continue to bless us from above. For he is great. Amen
My grandfather always said this song was written for him and my grandmother. She passed in 2015, and when they played this at her service the whole family was in tears. The only time I ever saw my grandfather cry. He passed last year, and although dementia had taken many of his memories he always still talked about her. Love you, Granny & Gramps, you showed us all what love is.
Today is 1 year ago my wonderful husband arrived to his heavenly home 😢 I miss him so much! This was his song to me. I'm at the cemetery visiting him right even though I know he is not here. He is with Jesus and I know 😅 I'll be seeing him again!!!
Im so sorry for you. My Mom is going to feel thos soon. She lost her only son 4 years ago and now her wonderful husband is on hospice. She still has us three girls, but who can possibly fix this incredibly broken heart?!? Pray for my Mom please.
No doubt! This is my wife and I’d song. She has been and is my brown eyed girl for 35yrs now. Some of these comments hit home deeply. God bless us all!
My Dad's song he would play all the time. He passed I 2009. He had 6 brown eyed girls and a 51 year marriage to his brown eyed wife. This is for you Dad happy birthday 8/4/26-8/22/2009❤
I come from a family of blue-eyes going back as far as I know, as did the man I married. My son married a brown-eyed girl, and not long after, they produced the first brown-eyed girl in generations on either side of her father's family. I was so in love with my beautiful grand baby and would dance around with her in my arms, singing "Brown-eyed girl". She will always be my brown-eyed girl with the most adorable, loving and gentle nature. My brown-eyed girl is now 13 years old🌱💗🙏🕊🙏💗🌱🇦🇺
I was 17 when this song came out in 1967. Married my brown eyed girl in 1972. We had 42 wonderful years she passed in2014. It was our favorite song I play it every time I Think about her which is every day.
So sorry for your loss. You are 2 years older than me and I’ve been with my husband for 42 years now, but I haven’t been very happy and things are now VERY bad between us, so I envy you the happiness you clearly had ! I am a strong believer in Jesus Christ and am sure in some way that we do not understand you will be reunited with your ‘ brown eyed girl ‘ . As Christ said, at the moment we all see ‘ through a glass darkly ‘. Actually, that quote may be from St Paul, but I’m no theologian !! May your God bless you, and even if you don’t believe in him/ her I do not think you will be forgotten ! Christine Knibb Scarff
Husband passed away in 2012. Married over 20 yrs and this was always " our song". He always sang it to me all the time. I remember many late nights after the kids were asleep dancing up a storm to this song in our living room. Ah brings a sentimental tear to my eye .........
I sang and danced with my daughter to this too! - And this morning I asked Alexa to 'play some music' and this song came on! Perfect timing, because today is my brown eyed girl's 41st birthday. ❤️
My dad would sing this to me. I was the only child on his side of the family with brown eyes. He passed away 4 years ago and I listen to this song when I want to feel close to him. I miss you dad, your brown eyed girl
In honor of my friend, Linda who just passed away-I came to listen. We’d always blast this song in her car & sing it loudly! Too young to be gone 😢 RIP Linda! This song is for you!!
I married my brown-eyed girl we had a wonderful time for 32 years I miss her greatly she had such a bubbly spirit and we made love to this song many times boy do I miss her may you rest in peace sweetheart
This was my Mom and Dad's "song" when they were together. Even though my dad is with someone else now, and my Mom has passed away, he says he still thinks of her when this song comes on the radio. He told me that deep down, he'll always love my Mom. ❤
Despite him being an Avid Metalhead, my Dad absolutely loved this song.. he passed on March 8th, and I havent been able to get this out of my head... We listened to it quite a bit together, going down the road with the windows down, on such a beautiful day
My beautiful brown eyed wife had cancer - 3 years ago in the hospice I got into bed with her and sang my version of 'Brown eyed girl ' to her. My love passed while I was holding her and singing to her. My heart is still shattered.
I danced to this song while pregnant after knowing I was having a girl. Her daddy has brown eyes and I knew she would too. Then dance with her on my hip as a baby. She's 20 yrs old this month. She will always be Mama's baby Brown Eyed Girl 🥰
My son passed away when he was only 12, his name was James, I used to sing this song to him, this song was so important to me and i cannot listen to this song without thinking about him, god bless all y’all.
When I was a child, I always talked about how all the songs mentioned blue eyes, and never brown, like my own. So my dad went and got this song (probably on a cassette tape) to prove to me that brown eyes are also beautiful. I’ll always think of him when I listen to this song.
I sing this song to my oldest daughter. She is my only brown eyed girl as her sisters have a different daddy and their eyes are all blue. She feels left out but when I sing this it helps her feel so much better. Amazing how music can move us in a way to not only feel better but to feel special. ♥️
Blue eyes get romanticized a lot, it's always made me feel like I had boring eyes. But our eyes are the color of soothing chocolate, sweet honey in the sun, the color of soil that hosts life, just a beautiful color in all tones and variations.
This song was for my baby girl lol only daughter with brown eyes too ... Thought I was the only one who sang it to a daughter, thank you for making my day...
I got a girl I knew for 2 months pregnant in 2005. She wanted a blue eyed blonde haired girl. She was pissed when the kid popped out with brown eyes. We have 5 brown eyed daughters and a brown eyed son. Our oldest is named Alexis too, by the way.
@@lanceroark6386 hahaha "popped out with brown eyes". Look, tell her to love her daughters and when she's becomes a grandma she will have all the blue eyed grand children she wants and you all the grandsons.
My late husband used to play this on guitar for me as I was his brown eyed girl. Sadly I lost him to cancer 20 years ago, we had almost 15, way too short years together. I sing it with tears streaming down my face. I miss him ❤

Hey, where did we go? Days when the rains came Down in the hollow Playin' a new game Laughing and a running hey, hey Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with Our hearts a thumpin' and you My brown-eyed girl You, my brown-eyed girl Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow? Going down the old mine With a transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing Hiding behind a rainbow's wall Slipping and sliding All along the waterfall, with you My brown-eyed girl You, my brown-eyed girl Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da Just like that Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da So hard to find my way Now that I'm all on my own I saw you just the other day My, how you have grown Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My brown-eyed girl You, my brown-eyed girl Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da (Bit by bit, by bit, by bit, by bit, by bit) (Sha la la la la la la, la te da, la te da Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da (La te da, da da da da da da da da)
I want everyone to know this ain’t the end we will meet our loved ones once again never stop shining bright you wanna leave this world and remember the memories we have shared with our loved ones have a great day 👋🥰
I have so many fond memories of this song. I was born 1995 and when I was younger my mom used to play all the time when she would bake or cook. She would dance with me to this song. I have brown eyes and she used to say “Miranda, you’re my brown eyed girl.” This song holds a special place in my heart. I miss you mom! Love your brown eyed girl
Lyrics… Hey, where did we go? Days when the rains came Down in the hollow Playin' a new game Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey Skippin' and a-jumpin' In the misty morning fog with Our, our hearts a-thumping and you My brown-eyed girl And you, my brown-eyed girl And whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow? Going down the old mine with a Transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing Hiding 'hind a rainbow's wall Slipping and sliding All along the waterfall with you My brown-eyed girl You, my brown-eyed girl Do you remember when we used to sing?

Me and my dad used to dance around the house to this song blasting from his giant 1990s stereo system that took up a whole dang wall. We would face each other, hold hands and twist around. He was spin me and swing me around and sing to me. It’s one of my favorite memories! I didn’t see him much as he worked out of state, but he made the most of what we had when he was home. Even if we had no money, he made sure we made memories. If you ever see this, I ❤️ ya Papa🐻. 😘
I'm so happy to read your comment and i'm glad you had really happy moments with your dad due to this song. I hope your dad is happy wherever he is at :)
ziqilee1212 he is about 6 hours away from me now, as I moved away from home. We see one another around 4-5 times a year for a few days each. He’s still the same big goofball he always has been. 😊 Thanks for your reply.

Im only 16 but seeing all of these lovers with their brown eyed girl talking about their teen years together really gives me hope that real romantic love still exists. This songnis amazing and so are the stories this song brought to life ❤
I'm writing this as I sit by my mothers bedside. She's nearing the end of her journey. A lady who always looked on the bright side of life. I'm sure she's enjoying a little Van Morrison . ❤
This is one of the finest pop songs ever written. Everything about it is absolute perfection. Songs like this will live on forever. In good times and bad. That gives me comfort.
No doubt they're not his best vocals but awful? Not a shot. It's still played on radios for a reason, no one else could sing this song, if I want to get someone into van Morrison I show them this song first. @@curly_wyn
Met my brown eyed girl in high school in 1970. It was love at first sight for me. We went our separate ways after graduation, but got together again in '93. Been together every day for the last 23 years. She loves me to sing this song to her.
Lost my Brown Eyed Girl a little over a year ago. She's still and will always be in my thoughts. Love you Nancy and can't wait until we are together again ❤
I've been singing this song to my wife for 45 years , it always gets me out of trouble . The truth of the matter is she will always be my brown eyed girl .
I listen to this just to feel my sister again next to me. She used to sing this to me all the time. She’s still alive, but she’s been on heroin for many years and lost herself. She moved away to Alaska, and we haven’t seen her in over 15 years. I miss her so much and would give anything to have her here singing this song to me again❤️
Your sister still loves you just the way she did when she would sing this to you. May she find a way out of the terrible chains of addiction. My heart goes out to you both.
As someone in her shoes, sort of, she may feel like she is a burden or a danger to you, or ashamed of the power of the drug over her for something she did or didn't do, or feels like she has let you down, and can't face it, or many other possibilities. But I bet her love for you is still strong. Her love may be the reason she stays apart. Maybe she doesn't want to expose you to the danger of her associates. She may not be in a financial position to go to you. Anyway, whatever the situ is, consider going to see her in person, even if only to give her a hug and turn around and go right home. My mom died and I didn't even know about it until 4 years later. I haven't seen any of them, not even on social media in nearly 20 years now. I love all of them. I helped raise my younger sibs till they were in grade school. I'm not financially independent and I don't want to burden them. I'm not on H or opiates. I have ADD and ADHD and my monthly script of desoxyn without insurance is over $600 a month. I got hurt at my construction job, got my friend pregnant, or she got us pregnant, cuz it wasn't on my list of things to do, got swindled into signing off my work comp claim in trade for a promotion and big salary jump, lost my job, my insurance, my truck, my home, my drivers license due to back child support owed. I became homeless, started using what passes for meth to self medicate my ADD. (Look up desoxyn) And I just did not want to burden anyone BECAUSE I love them. I wanted to achieve financial independence, have a home for my son to visit, before I returned. I worked my ass off day and night scrapping metal and reinvesting that cash into new warranty returns and fixing them and reselling them. I built up an inventory of nearly $200K, but they took my DL and it crippled me. I lost it all again. I don't know. You should go to her if you can. Heroin is a bitch that don't want to let go. I've seen it. But those same people are in recovery with script meds and are at least safe from the danger of the street. On the other hand, you may be a narcissistic bitch that she never wants to see again. I should just worry about my thing, not yours. I'll tell you what I've learned the hard way, then dip. We have differences with loved ones, and go our separate ways out of foolish pride or shame or anger. She owes me an apology. He hurt my feelings. They owe me too much money. Etc. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow and tell them I'm sorry and I love them. We think there is time, and some day we will see each other, hug and cry, forgive and laugh. Time disappears while we are busy living our lives. 15 years slips away and disappears in a blink. Sometimes tomorrow never comes. Your mom dies without you, her first born, there holding her hand, where you should have been. You never got to hug her again, or tell her you're sorry, or ask her to forgive, or tell her you forgive her. All that time is just gone. And you can't ever get it back. No redo. No second chance. Sometimes tomorrow never comes.
I met my brown eyed girl just 3/4 of a year ago! She is the best thing that ever happened to me and I am so lucky to have her around. Maybe it's just a known thing, that brown eyed girls are the prettiest and most loving people you will ever meet? I know that is in my case anyway :) ❤
Your case is the only case that matters. This has been the ‘theme song’ for my wife and I for over 35 years now. May you be blessed with the same. Many years to you and your brown eyed girl!
@@thejoker2000 Hey Man 15 yrs on one job. Own my own car. Living in my family house. I work for the Archdiocese of NO the richest organization on Earth. I choose my family house til I get wealthy. My 401 k is well over 40,000 my money..God bless you
God I love this song. My father used to sing it to me all the time growing up. He's passed away a few years ago. It always brings me to tears listening to this. RIP, I'll keep playing and singing this song for you.
They are man's best friend. I put mine down last May after 17 years. He was a fighter. But I knew when his time was up. He had a good life. I do miss him very much.
This song makes me cry whenever I hear it my mum always said this was our song and my gran told her the same as we where the only brown eyed girls in our family. Lost my mum 13 years ago and this song still gets me
My dad used to play this on the radio of his car every morning on the way to drop me of to school . God I love and miss this, song miss listening to it with my dad Rip he left us to soon God Bless !
So sorry to hear about your Dad! I can relate cuz when I lost mine I lost my best friend - faithfully just temporarily. But those great memories you had with him will never die...
Loved this song since it first came out. Love reading comments about how this song affected their lives when they fell in love with their future spouse.
@@officialvanmorrison2080 A few days ago saw your photo online performing at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma which just closed along with McNear's Saloon next door. The owner of both has recently put up for sale. On The Santa Rosa Press Democrat online there are photos of everyone who performed at The Mystic including Bob Dylan's son Jakob and The Wallflowers!
This song always makes me remember my grandpa who passed away. I was his “brown eyed girl” and we would always dance to this song at weddings. It makes me very happy to see that other people have such fond memories of this song
Van Morrison sure makes Belfast proud! My husband sings this song to me every morning. I treasure him more than anything. 💘 I also love 👀 having big brown eyes!
Falling in love with a brown eyed girl right now. Spent today at a waterfall swimming spot and this song played on the way home, felt right where I needed to be :)

Am always glad to receive positive comments from my lovely fans,it's my pleasure bringing sweet melody to my lovely fan,❤❤❤hope you don't stop listening to my music and thanks for your sincere compliment I really appreciate,have you been to any of my concerts?
my god father and i use to dance to this every time we were together. he passed this past weekend and i can’t stop listening and crying to this so ❤️🩹
We lost our brown eyed girl yesterday. Our beloved brown eyed Siberian Husky Dana has gone to a better place when she can run and play. Been listening to this all day over and over thanks for allowing me to remember the good time we shared with her.
I know this generation of music is aging. But, the one thing they all shared is genuine talent. They made their mark on music long before autotune was even a thing. They sang what you heard. I have so many fond memories of this song. It has such a bright, happy beat to it. It never grows old.
Yes. The songs were musical. Not just noise and rhythm, with offensive, outrageous words that are hard-pressed to be classified as lyrics. Yes…I admit to widening a generation gap.
I finally found the song!!!! This was the one with the guitar tune when it was the summer 2002 playing loud on the speakers in school. I was only 6 years old and 2nd grade turning 3rd. Man those times were amazing sitting next to the girl I liked at the time named Nichelle Sablan. Those memories are the kind that are forever. Took me 20 years to find this song. Gosh was it worth looking around.
I sing this to my daughter all the time!! Every day since birth. She has the most amazing brown eyes. I never really liked brown eyes. Not until she was born. I love you Teeny!!!
Me! 🎉❤ I love this song! It reminds me of my friend that died it takes me back. She was such a free spirit. We did what we wanted to do and enjoyed life and didn't care what anyone thought. Amazing times! There will never be another Jenny ❤
This song predates me by decades...I'm 20 now and I have started learning music from UA-cam using a ukulele as my first instrument two years ago and this was one of the first songs that I actually learnt and I practice it on a daily basis as a warm up song with the riffs and all...all the old songs are awesome and the music of my generation can a learn a thing or two from the classics💯🔥
Believe me when I tell you, the Bible is completely true. It holds the real TRUTH. But it holds smaller truths as well… there is nothing new under the sun… there is no new music, everything is just a copy of the classics. From the 30’s till the 90’s, most, but not all of that is “original”. I haven’t listened to any new music since 2006. I was sick of the evil at that point. God Bless.
I like reading everybody's stories about this song. It's so nice to hear about how songs can make us think about the people we love. This song reminds me of this girl I like, right? I told her how I felt a few days before Christmas break. She is real pretty, and real sweet, with the most expressive eyes I've ever seen. Big brown ones, of course. This song makes me think about her a lot, man. We're friends now, which is cool, but I still like her. It's a conundrum for sure. But the hurt isn't that bad now, man. It's starting to fade. So, yeah, man.
Good thing you were open with her and good thing you could remain friends. It's not many who have the strength to do that and I just wanted to say that it's a rare thing for someone to be as mature about it as you are. You will find another pair of eyes to fall in love with.
@@zumajim My mom had green/blue eyes, but she used to play both songs for me. I agree with both comments and someone called me Crystal Gale once because of my hair.
@@kylerk576 It's not that, I saw it on an interview that they wanted to make a kind of Calypso song. When it came time to record, Van said that he just got into the booth, sang the song as we know it, and when he got out and they played it through he realised that he'd been singing 'brown *eyed* girl', but it was written as brown *skinned* girl. He accidentally changed the song, but thought it was ok, so he just changed the name, instead. I think it works because most brown-skinned girls have brown eyes, but it also works for others with brown eyes.
I remember listening to this song in the car with my grandparents, on the way to the airport to go home. That’s a real memory right there, never gonna forget it. This is quite a comfort song, and even aside from that it’s great. The real deal.
One of my top favourites. I remember this in the movie 'Sleeping with the Enemy' when Julia Roberts character, Laura, is dancing with Ben (Kevin Anderson). Just lovely.

I grew up listening to my father play this song, sometimes almost daily. He always wanted to be a great musician, but he chose family instead. He passed just a few weeks ago and I miss him so much. There are so many questions and things I still want to ask him. I love you Dad.
you will always carry him with you through your life just as i do having lost my father, and mother ,you will still ask the questions and the answers will come because he is always there.
My grandpa danced with my mom at her wedding to this song. He passed 2 years ago and now I love listening to this song but when I think about why I can feel the tears coming
This is a song that my grandpa loved and he died 2 years ago and this is a great song and sweet song and he is everything to me I love him GOD BLESS HE HIS UP IN HEAVEN LOVE HIM😘😘
KingNati 21 atleast you got to meet urs I never got to mean any of mine but I hope you are ok just remember he is in a better place now so he doesn’t feel any pain anymore so now he will just be looking down on you and he knows that u love and miss him ok so it’s ok u can get through it xx
Have loved this song! Being a brown eyed girl had alot of compliments and this chorus sung to me! From my husband, of course, passed away too soon! 🥰🥰🥰
My brown eyed daughter in 2007 walked the first time to this beautiful song, started dancing around, and with her gorgeous happiest smile dimple and light blond hair. ❤
My husband used to sing this song to me all the time when we were dating. Then alot after we were married too. Every year on my birthday. He passed away three months ago and my birthday is tomorrow. It will be the first birthday I won't hear him sing this song to me . I was 16 when he first started and I'll be 54 tomorrow. I keep listening to it now just to remember him. I miss him so much.
i’m sorry for your loss hun
Happy Birthday 🎂
He is with you in spirit and heart ❣️❤️
Happy birthday. May he Rest In Peace. Just treasure the memories. Try to seek support from friends and family. He would want you to be showing up and doing your best. Don’t let him down. Take care.

I am so sorry. I hope you managed to have some comfort on your birthday and, indeed, everyday. Arms around you.
I just found my brown eyed girl! She’s awesome! I thank my Lord for her! I’m 61 she’s 60. We feel like kids! You never get too old to love!

Congratulations! I am very happy for both of you!
I married my very own brown eyed girl last year and this year she gave me another beautiful brown eyed girl. I’m so blessed. 🥰
Congrats man ❤
Qué maravilla...!!!
This is my and my wife’s song for 35 years now. She gave me a hazel eyed girl that has given me 6 blue eyed grandchildren. Blessings to you and yours. Many years my friend!
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉❤
God bless.
I married my brown eyed girl, she still takes my breath away. 35 yrs later and three older children. She is amazing and this was my song before I met her and I sang it to her and she said keep my day job. We laughed and just danced to it the other day when we were at our daughters house playing with our grand children. May Jesus continue to bless us from above. For he is great. Amen
Yessir! God bless 🙏
My fave Van album is "poetic champions compose" -- Van was once, & maybe still is, a Scientologist, as is actor Tom cruise.😊
@@Goober66 Lol love Tom Cruise
God is just pretend
you may think that way, do not worry, he believes in you. Amen. I pray for you everyday. Happy Easter, he has risen. For you@@rtlthemusician5598
My grandfather always said this song was written for him and my grandmother. She passed in 2015, and when they played this at her service the whole family was in tears. The only time I ever saw my grandfather cry. He passed last year, and although dementia had taken many of his memories he always still talked about her. Love you, Granny & Gramps, you showed us all what love is.
R.I.P. I saw that devotion with my grandparents also.
So sad rip I hope you feel better soon
Family
Wonderful loving family♥️
This was so heatwarming and sad 😭
Today is 1 year ago my wonderful husband arrived to his heavenly home 😢 I miss him so much! This was his song to me. I'm at the cemetery visiting him right even though I know he is not here. He is with Jesus and I know 😅 I'll be seeing him again!!!
i feel soooo sorry for you
I pray this Moment for you.
Im so sorry for you. My Mom is going to feel thos soon. She lost her only son 4 years ago and now her wonderful husband is on hospice. She still has us three girls, but who can possibly fix this incredibly broken heart?!?
Pray for my Mom please.
I understand completely, mu sweet man passed away as well and I too was his brown eyed girl
It’s tough . I lost my husband of 46 years 4 years ago . 😢
Most of the comments here, are making me cry, love to everyone who's reading ❤️
❤😊
Me too

awwwww that's the sweetest thing i ever heard!
I lost my Brown eyed girl last September. Today is her birthday. Happy birthday baby I love you.❤🎶❤
Sorry to hear that. Hang in there ❤🙏
Gee, Lonnie, that's tough.
my condolences
😥😢😰
Did she die?
I married my brown eyed girl 10 years ago. She gave me another brown eyed girl and she’s laying here next to us. I love them.
this comment has me blubbering
I like hearing comments like this. Good for u and your family ✌️
That’s so sweet 😊😊
What a beautiful comment, might have teared up a little
Many happy times to you and family...
I come from a family of blue-eyes going back as far as I know, as did the man I married. My son married a brown-eyed girl, and not long after, they produced the first brown-eyed girl in generations on either side of her father's family. I was so in love with my beautiful grand baby and would dance around with her in my arms, singing "Brown-eyed girl". She will always be my brown-eyed girl with the most adorable, loving and gentle nature. My brown-eyed girl is now 13 years old🌱💗🙏🕊🙏💗🌱🇦🇺
I was 17 when this song came out in 1967. Married my brown eyed girl in 1972. We had 42 wonderful years she passed in2014. It was our favorite song I play it every time I Think about her which is every day.
It doesn’t get any better than this!!!!
May she Rest In Peace.
So sorry for your loss. You are 2 years older than me and I’ve been with my husband for 42 years now, but I haven’t been very happy and things are now VERY bad between us, so I envy you the happiness you clearly had !
I am a strong believer in Jesus Christ and am sure in some way that we do not understand you will be reunited with your ‘ brown eyed girl ‘ . As Christ said, at the moment we all see ‘ through a glass darkly ‘. Actually, that quote may be from St Paul, but I’m no theologian !!
May your God bless you, and even if you don’t believe in him/ her I do not think you will be forgotten !

May she rest in Peace
Beautiful history ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Husband passed away in 2012. Married over 20 yrs and this was always " our song". He always sang it to me all the time. I remember many late nights after the kids were asleep dancing up a storm to this song in our living room. Ah brings a sentimental tear to my eye .........
@Jack Miller Thank you for a wonderful view of what love looks like!
Sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss, what beautiful memories you will always hold in your heart of him. Big hugs.
I want that more than anything
If you find his corpse you could move his mouth like a puppet and sing it
I sang this to my daughter when she was little. She's 40 now and we still dance to it. Classic!!
lmao
I sang and danced with my daughter to this too! - And this morning I asked Alexa to 'play some music' and this song came on! Perfect timing, because today is my brown eyed girl's 41st birthday. ❤️
My daughter & I did too….just listened to it last night, 1400 miles apart.❤
My dad would sing this to me. I was the only child on his side of the family with brown eyes. He passed away 4 years ago and I listen to this song when I want to feel close to him. I miss you dad, your brown eyed girl
Me too ❤
In honor of my friend, Linda who just passed away-I came to listen. We’d always blast this song in her car & sing it loudly! Too young to be gone 😢 RIP Linda! This song is for you!!
🙏🏼
@@tvlrj08thank you! ❤
1967 I was 17 riding the bus to Millbrook High listening to this on my transistor radio. I'm 72 now and this is still my favourite song.
1950 was a good year I was 17 also. This is a great song.
It’s so wholesome to read everyone’s comments. This is truly love . I’m in an awe
TY! 🎶🧑🎤 *Just like that...* 😄
My first wife was my brown eyed girl! I lost her to cancer but every time I hear this song I think of her! This was our song too!
Hi

She will always be your brown eye girl
For me its my mom 💔😭
My baby left to work at 5 am. Woke up to this at 8 am. Made me smile so bright. I love my papa bear 😘❤️

This was my Mom and Dad's "song" when they were together. Even though my dad is with someone else now, and my Mom has passed away, he says he still thinks of her when this song comes on the radio. He told me that deep down, he'll always love my Mom. ❤
Hi ilove your music you love all the same music I love that is strange but great 👍
God keeps me happy too
I'm younger. Listened with my Grandpa!
deep down I'll always love your mom if you catch my drift
me too, i see my parents with this song. they separated when i was 5
PEACE AND SO MUCH LOVE TO VAN MORRISON ALWAYS AND FOREVER 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Despite him being an Avid Metalhead, my Dad absolutely loved this song.. he passed on March 8th, and I havent been able to get this out of my head... We listened to it quite a bit together, going down the road with the windows down, on such a beautiful day
God blessed your dear Dad with great taste in brilliant music, he is now resting in peace and listing to lot of Van and other great rocking music

My dad sings this to me as his only daughter with brown eyes. Love this nostalgia

My beautiful brown eyed wife had cancer - 3 years ago in the hospice I got into bed with her and sang my version of 'Brown eyed girl ' to her. My love passed while I was holding her and singing to her. My heart is still shattered.
How lucky she was to have your love.
So sorry for your loss. I know your pain as I also lost my loved one.
I feel your pain, for I lost my Babe 1 year ago too. I'll be praying for you, my friend!
How very beautiful...
God makes a way
We adopted a dog from Greece with the most beautiful brown eyes. She is our brown eyed girl and we love her xoxo
We adopted a Golden Retriever, she was our brown-eyed girl 🥰
I danced to this song while pregnant after knowing I was having a girl. Her daddy has brown eyes and I knew she would too. Then dance with her on my hip as a baby. She's 20 yrs old this month. She will always be Mama's baby Brown Eyed Girl 🥰
I knew that about my kids too, only had 1 name picked out lol

My son passed away when he was only 12, his name was James, I used to sing this song to him, this song was so important to me and i cannot listen to this song without thinking about him, god bless all y’all.
so sorry for your loss. May you and him have nothing but great memories of your times together until you run into each other in the next life.
Keep singing. He will hear it from heaven
❤️❤️
So sorry. I can’t imagine losing a child. When I hear this song I’ll pray for James for now on

A truly timeless classic by Sir Van Morrison. It still sounds fresh now, as it did back in 1967. Brown Eyed Girl will never get old.
I thought that this song was from The Rolling Stones
Don't forget it was the band called Them.
When I was a child, I always talked about how all the songs mentioned blue eyes, and never brown, like my own. So my dad went and got this song (probably on a cassette tape) to prove to me that brown eyes are also beautiful. I’ll always think of him when I listen to this song.
My husband played this song for me when we met in 1988. He still does 30 years later.
Lucky Laurie!!!!!!!!!!!
Dwight Dodd Right still beating cheeks to this incredible song!!
Calvin you're welcome!!!

My Dad wrote a poem when I was born called My Brown Eyed Amanda....He always made me feel special. Miss you so much Dad xxx
Sorry for your loss, I too lost my dad last year on 10/11/23 and my name is Amanda also. Reading ur post made me cry n think of my daddio.
I sing this song to my oldest daughter. She is my only brown eyed girl as her sisters have a different daddy and their eyes are all blue. She feels left out but when I sing this it helps her feel so much better. Amazing how music can move us in a way to not only feel better but to feel special. ♥️
Blue eyes get romanticized a lot, it's always made me feel like I had boring eyes. But our eyes are the color of soothing chocolate, sweet honey in the sun, the color of soil that hosts life, just a beautiful color in all tones and variations.
Me and my two daughters are in the same situation, My brown eyed girl is named Alexis just like you! 🥰
This song was for my baby girl lol only daughter with brown eyes too ... Thought I was the only one who sang it to a daughter, thank you for making my day...
I got a girl I knew for 2 months pregnant in 2005. She wanted a blue eyed blonde haired girl. She was pissed when the kid popped out with brown eyes. We have 5 brown eyed daughters and a brown eyed son. Our oldest is named Alexis too, by the way.
@@lanceroark6386 hahaha "popped out with brown eyes". Look, tell her to love her daughters and when she's becomes a grandma she will have all the blue eyed grand children she wants and you all the grandsons.
I was a teen in the 70's ive always like Van's music especially Brown eyed girl ❤
My late husband used to play this on guitar for me as I was his brown eyed girl. Sadly I lost him to cancer 20 years ago, we had almost 15, way too short years together. I sing it with tears streaming down my face.
I miss him ❤
My prayers go out to you xx
My wife of 37 years favorite song. She can't help it...she is dancing right now. Shake a tail feather girl !!

My dad used to sing this to me when I was little. Now that I’m older it’s bittersweet to hear. He’s been gone almost 2 years. Never gets any easier.
Thanks for liking and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love ❤️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
It gets harder, that saying it gets easier over time is completely false. You just become more comfortable in the pain.
Same situation. I'm currently in the bottom of the pit just trying to take myself back to when life was alright.
Thanks for being the best fans possible♥️ kindly note that you can send me a mail via my google address just by adding 0 (zero to my full Names) and that’s makes up my google address. Looking forward to receiving your mails.
Cherish those times,lost both my parents, this song should put a smile on your face,and I'm sure your dad will always smiling with you! God bless!!!
I used to sing this to my chihuahua Molli. She passed away 12/19/2022. I will always think of her when I hear this.

This song was recorded exactly fifty years ago today. Since the 28th March 1967 we have had the perfect song for brown eyed girls everywhere.
Ironically the original lyrics were "brown skinned girl" but they thought that was too racey for the times so the changed it to "eyed"
march 28 1966
Major insanity FABULOUS FIFTY! ♡💪😗
50 years ago ! ! ! Yikes, we must be OLD !
Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall, with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
(Bit by bit, by bit, by bit, by bit, by bit)
(Sha la la la la la la, la te da, la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
(La te da, da da da da da da da da)
I don’t even have any story like other people in the comments, I just love this song.
You're the only one without a story. Lol. But I agree a great song.
Listening to this as a teen whilst everyone else in the comments has a story behind it really is weird tbh💀
Same 💃🕺✨
I want everyone to know this ain’t the end we will meet our loved ones once again never stop shining bright you wanna leave this world and remember the memories we have shared with our loved ones have a great day 👋🥰
Thank you for the kind words and God bless you!
I have so many fond memories of this song. I was born 1995 and when I was younger my mom used to play all the time when she would bake or cook. She would dance with me to this song. I have brown eyes and she used to say “Miranda, you’re my brown eyed girl.” This song holds a special place in my heart. I miss you mom!
Love your brown eyed girl

Me and my dad used to dance around the house to this song blasting from his giant 1990s stereo system that took up a whole dang wall. We would face each other, hold hands and twist around. He was spin me and swing me around and sing to me. It’s one of my favorite memories! I didn’t see him much as he worked out of state, but he made the most of what we had when he was home. Even if we had no money, he made sure we made memories. If you ever see this, I ❤️ ya Papa🐻. 😘
I'm so happy to read your comment and i'm glad you had really happy moments with your dad due to this song. I hope your dad is happy wherever he is at :)

I'm writing this as I sit by my mothers bedside. She's nearing the end of her journey. A lady who always looked on the bright side of life. I'm sure she's enjoying a little Van Morrison . ❤
❤️❤️❤️
This is one of the finest pop songs ever written. Everything about it is absolute perfection. Songs like this will live on forever. In good times and bad. That gives me comfort.
They sure will.
Uhhh, no. No it’s not. Van Morrison’s vocals on this song are awful.
@@curly_wyn 🤡
No doubt they're not his best vocals but awful? Not a shot. It's still played on radios for a reason, no one else could sing this song, if I want to get someone into van Morrison I show them this song first. @@curly_wyn
Met my brown eyed girl in high school in 1970. It was love at first sight for me. We went our separate ways after graduation, but got together again in '93. Been together every day for the last 23 years. She loves me to sing this song to her.
Happy 79th birthday Van the Man!! May God bless you always and I really love your music!!! 🎉
Lost my Brown Eyed Girl a little over a year ago. She's still and will always be in my thoughts. Love you Nancy and can't wait until we are together again ❤
My condolences to you
Wow..I know this sing and I am that Browned Eyed Girl..smile..I am 70 now and still Rocking...still that GIRL... Maria

ohhhhhhh darling
Hey my Maria...are you on the east? do you like short walks on the beach? Think about it mama Maria ;)
Oooops, Is there a Mr. Soto?
LOL
I've been singing this song to my wife for 45 years , it always gets me out of trouble .
The truth of the matter is she will always be my brown eyed girl .
My grandma died my mom telled me this was her favorite song she took care of me all of my live and grandma I love you for that fly high🕊️🕊️🕊️
I listen to this just to feel my sister again next to me. She used to sing this to me all the time. She’s still alive, but she’s been on heroin for many years and lost herself. She moved away to Alaska, and we haven’t seen her in over 15 years. I miss her so much and would give anything to have her here singing this song to me again❤️
Hang in there friend. Its a tough battle. Remember to take time for yourself too beautiful brown eyes.
Sending prayers for your sister
Your sister still loves you just the way she did when she would sing this to you. May she find a way out of the terrible chains of addiction. My heart goes out to you both.
As someone in her shoes, sort of, she may feel like she is a burden or a danger to you, or ashamed of the power of the drug over her for something she did or didn't do, or feels like she has let you down, and can't face it, or many other possibilities.
But I bet her love for you is still strong. Her love may be the reason she stays apart. Maybe she doesn't want to expose you to the danger of her associates.
She may not be in a financial position to go to you.
Anyway, whatever the situ is, consider going to see her in person, even if only to give her a hug and turn around and go right home.
My mom died and I didn't even know about it until 4 years later. I haven't seen any of them, not even on social media in nearly 20 years now.
I love all of them. I helped raise my younger sibs till they were in grade school.
I'm not financially independent and I don't want to burden them.
I'm not on H or opiates. I have ADD and ADHD and my monthly script of desoxyn without insurance is over $600 a month. I got hurt at my construction job, got my friend pregnant, or she got us pregnant, cuz it wasn't on my list of things to do, got swindled into signing off my work comp claim in trade for a promotion and big salary jump, lost my job, my insurance, my truck, my home, my drivers license due to back child support owed. I became homeless, started using what passes for meth to self medicate my ADD. (Look up desoxyn)
And I just did not want to burden anyone BECAUSE I love them.
I wanted to achieve financial independence, have a home for my son to visit, before I returned.
I worked my ass off day and night scrapping metal and reinvesting that cash into new warranty returns and fixing them and reselling them. I built up an inventory of nearly $200K, but they took my DL and it crippled me. I lost it all again.
I don't know. You should go to her if you can. Heroin is a bitch that don't want to let go. I've seen it. But those same people are in recovery with script meds and are at least safe from the danger of the street.
On the other hand, you may be a narcissistic bitch that she never wants to see again.
I should just worry about my thing, not yours.
I'll tell you what I've learned the hard way, then dip.
We have differences with loved ones, and go our separate ways out of foolish pride or shame or anger.
She owes me an apology. He hurt my feelings. They owe me too much money. Etc.
Maybe I'll call them tomorrow and tell them I'm sorry and I love them.
We think there is time, and some day we will see each other, hug and cry, forgive and laugh.
Time disappears while we are busy living our lives. 15 years slips away and disappears in a blink.
Sometimes tomorrow never comes.
Your mom dies without you, her first born, there holding her hand, where you should have been.
You never got to hug her again, or tell her you're sorry, or ask her to forgive, or tell her you forgive her.
All that time is just gone.
And you can't ever get it back.
No redo. No second chance.
Sometimes tomorrow never comes.
In honor of my little brown eyed girl who passed away January 21,2016 at 12:20PM in my arms. I will forever miss you and cherish our time together.
I'm really sorryy man
Wow so sorry my man real Rock and Roll
I'm so sorry man. I wish you much strength to overcome this difficult moments.

I met my brown eyed girl just 3/4 of a year ago! She is the best thing that ever happened to me and I am so lucky to have her around.
Maybe it's just a known thing, that brown eyed girls are the prettiest and most loving people you will ever meet? I know that is in my case anyway :) ❤
Your case is the only case that matters. This has been the ‘theme song’ for my wife and I for over 35 years now. May you be blessed with the same. Many years to you and your brown eyed girl!

Loved this song since it first came out. Love reading comments about how this song affected their lives when they fell in love with their future spouse.
@@officialvanmorrison2080 A few days ago saw your photo online performing at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma which just closed along with McNear's Saloon next door. The owner of both has recently put up for sale. On The Santa Rosa Press Democrat online there are photos of everyone who performed at The Mystic including Bob Dylan's son Jakob and The Wallflowers!
This song always makes me remember my grandpa who passed away. I was his “brown eyed girl” and we would always dance to this song at weddings. It makes me very happy to see that other people have such fond memories of this song
That's lovely. 🤗😗
Van Morrison sure makes Belfast proud! My husband sings this song to me every morning. I treasure him more than anything. 💘 I also love 👀 having big brown eyes!
Falling in love with a brown eyed girl right now. Spent today at a waterfall swimming spot and this song played on the way home, felt right where I needed to be :)

And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding 'hind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Just like that
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da, la-tee-da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
I’m Ioo
🌻
*Sha-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-tee-da

Same my dad always sang me this song and he died Dec. 2004😭😭
Kimberly De Aro my dads favorite song
I feel you, my mom died last year, she was born in 1958 and said this was one of her favorite songs.
I found mine recently. Couldn't be happier....she is my world :)
my god father and i use to dance to this every time we were together. he passed this past weekend and i can’t stop listening and crying to this so ❤️🩹
❤ u have the memories
We lost our brown eyed girl yesterday. Our beloved brown eyed Siberian Husky Dana has gone to a better place when she can run and play. Been listening to this all day over and over thanks for allowing me to remember the good time we shared with her.
I know this generation of music is aging. But, the one thing they all shared is genuine talent. They made their mark on music long before autotune was even a thing. They sang what you heard. I have so many fond memories of this song. It has such a bright, happy beat to it. It never grows old.
I agree. I'm 15 and there are few people my age with a good appreciation for this kind of music
@@0.0E22 Enjoy
Yes. The songs were musical. Not just noise and rhythm, with offensive, outrageous words that are hard-pressed to be classified as lyrics. Yes…I admit to widening a generation gap.
I completely agree. Im a very early teen and rock and roll, and jazz are my favorite music genres.
@@0.0E22 I’m 14 and Loving this music
2:27 - Love thr instrumental here
I finally found the song!!!! This was the one with the guitar tune when it was the summer 2002 playing loud on the speakers in school. I was only 6 years old and 2nd grade turning 3rd. Man those times were amazing sitting next to the girl I liked at the time named Nichelle Sablan. Those memories are the kind that are forever.
Took me 20 years to find this song. Gosh was it worth looking around.
Bruh. You literally could’ve looked up “you my brown eyed girl” or “brown eyed girl” lmao
I sing this to my daughter all the time!! Every day since birth. She has the most amazing brown eyes. I never really liked brown eyes. Not until she was born. I love you Teeny!!!
What about the part where it says making love in the green grass? 😳
thats so sweet
To the girl I cannot have. My heart hurts. I used sing this song to her. She had the most beautiful brown eyes.
Me! 🎉❤ I love this song! It reminds me of my friend that died it takes me back. She was such a free spirit. We did what we wanted to do and enjoyed life and didn't care what anyone thought. Amazing times! There will never be another Jenny ❤
This song predates me by decades...I'm 20 now and I have started learning music from UA-cam using a ukulele as my first instrument two years ago and this was one of the first songs that I actually learnt and I practice it on a daily basis as a warm up song with the riffs and all...all the old songs are awesome and the music of my generation can a learn a thing or two from the classics💯🔥
You said that right.
Believe me when I tell you, the Bible is completely true. It holds the real TRUTH. But it holds smaller truths as well… there is nothing new under the sun… there is no new music, everything is just a copy of the classics. From the 30’s till the 90’s, most, but not all of that is “original”. I haven’t listened to any new music since 2006. I was sick of the evil at that point. God Bless.
I like reading everybody's stories about this song. It's so nice to hear about how songs can make us think about the people we love. This song reminds me of this girl I like, right? I told her how I felt a few days before Christmas break. She is real pretty, and real sweet, with the most expressive eyes I've ever seen. Big brown ones, of course. This song makes me think about her a lot, man. We're friends now, which is cool, but I still like her. It's a conundrum for sure. But the hurt isn't that bad now, man. It's starting to fade. So, yeah, man.
Hang in there buddy
@@Kinger-7162 thanks man
Good thing you were open with her and good thing you could remain friends. It's not many who have the strength to do that and I just wanted to say that it's a rare thing for someone to be as mature about it as you are.
You will find another pair of eyes to fall in love with.
@@Rasbiff I've been having a tough time recently, and I gotta say, this helped. Thanks man
It’s nice to hear a song about brown eyes , now days it’s like all you hear is songs about blue eyes
I know. Don't it make your brown eyes blue?
@@zumajim My mom had green/blue eyes, but she used to play both songs for me. I agree with both comments and someone called me Crystal Gale once because of my hair.
Brown eyes were likely minority in the 60s/70s
@@kylerk576 It's not that, I saw it on an interview that they wanted to make a kind of Calypso song. When it came time to record, Van said that he just got into the booth, sang the song as we know it, and when he got out and they played it through he realised that he'd been singing 'brown *eyed* girl', but it was written as brown *skinned* girl. He accidentally changed the song, but thought it was ok, so he just changed the name, instead.
I think it works because most brown-skinned girls have brown eyes, but it also works for others with brown eyes.
@Sophia Ervin I think blond hair makes the brown eyes pop, and it's just so cute!
As known, lots and lots of brown eyed girls around the world are beautiful, enchanting and lovely. Wonderful old song 😍👍❤
I remember listening to this song in the car with my grandparents, on the way to the airport to go home. That’s a real memory right there, never gonna forget it. This is quite a comfort song, and even aside from that it’s great. The real deal.
memory you should never forget
Memory I never will
One of my top favourites. I remember this in the movie 'Sleeping with the Enemy' when Julia Roberts character, Laura, is dancing with Ben (Kevin Anderson). Just lovely.
I know, my DH called to tell me he was listening to this song and thought of me, his brown eyed girl. I love this song too.
Kathryn Feltner What's a DH? I refer to a pest of a neighbour as a DH, but I mean d***head when I say that. :D

I grew up listening to my father play this song, sometimes almost daily. He always wanted to be a great musician, but he chose family instead. He passed just a few weeks ago and I miss him so much. There are so many questions and things I still want to ask him. I love you Dad.
you will always carry him with you through your life just as i do having lost my father, and mother ,you will still ask the questions and the answers will come because he is always there.
💙🙏💐
I’m so sorry for your loss my man. God bless you and your family!
Awwhhh Nicholas, you have my condolences on your father! I'm sure he would be proud of you!
My grandpa danced with my mom at her wedding to this song. He passed 2 years ago and now I love listening to this song but when I think about why I can feel the tears coming
This is a song that my grandpa loved and he died 2 years ago and this is a great song and sweet song and he is everything to me I love him GOD BLESS HE HIS UP IN HEAVEN LOVE HIM😘😘

Have loved this song! Being a brown eyed girl had alot of compliments and this chorus sung to me! From my husband, of course, passed away too soon! 🥰🥰🥰
My brown eyed daughter in 2007 walked the first time to this beautiful song, started dancing around, and with her gorgeous happiest smile dimple and light blond hair. ❤
