Cullen Ruff - Deep Brown Eyes

Freshman study hall was split down the middle
And your half was facing mine
You sat in the back while I sat in the front
Close enough to see you looked so fine
I tried to focus on my homework, but you know
That I'd look up from time to time
And you'd be looking back with equal intensity
Your brown eyes staring into mine

In those deep brown eyes I'd fantasize
Of joys I knew not then
Imaginations of you were so incredible
And mmm I wondered when

I never had the courage to say hi in the hallway
Back then I really was quite shy
All these years later, I still regret letting
Opportunity pass me by
We were not prepared, and I was so scared
Wanting no unwelcome surprise
Times were quite different, for taking chances
But what secrets lie behind those eyes

In those deep brown eyes, I'd fantasize
of pleasures I'd not tasted yet
Your gaze had me mesmerized
Though we never really met

We'd both just stare back, and barely blink
I nodded once and you nodded back
That reassured me, and made me think
That I just might be on the right track

You do not know that, I wrote a note once
But never had the courage to hand it
And that next summer, I called your house once,
So nervous I could hardly stand it
I did not give my name but asked for you
Your mom said that you'd gone into town
I never got the nerve to try again
No longer saw you hanging around

But in those deep brown eyes I'd fantasize
Of joys I knew not then
Imaginations of you were so incredible
And I still wondered when

And now more years have come and flown away
Since we had been alive back then
Who knows if we would even know each other
If we ever saw each other again
But of one thing I am quite sure
And this should come as no surprise

I'd surely recognize those deep brown eyes
Yes, I'd surely recognize those deep brown eyes
