[Lyric] Brown Eyes Shine (Don White (Folk))

[Verse 1]
I yelled, I screamed, I swore
And she slammed her bedroom door
The house was completely still
And in that silent chill
I began to feel and hear
The sounds of my own teen years
Didn't I always say
My home would not feel this way?

[Verse 2]
Hey kid, can I come in?
Hey, can we start again?
There's just too much at stake
For us to keep on this way
If this family explodes today
And the wounded go their own way
When the time comes to heal
Will we still all be here?

[Chorus]
The pain in my mother's еyes
The day that her fathеr died
Was born in her teenage years
Of wounds that never healed
[Verse 3]
Your life keeps on calling you
You hear it call, I do too
It gets louder all the time
I know it won't be denied
But there's just a few short years
Where we will both live here
For this precious and fleeting time
Let me see those brown eyes shine

[Chorus]
The pain in my mother's eyes
The day that her father died
Was born in her teenage years
Of wounds that never healed

[Verse 4]
If we make a deal today
To stop making their mistakes
When the time comes to say goodbye
You won't have my mother's eyes
For this precious and fleeting time
Let me see those brown eyes shine
