Beautiful Brown-eyed Girl 

(for Lela)
 

Beautiful Brown-eyed Girl,

With naturally-tan brown skin,

With a darling nose with a delicate dip

And a slight, dear cleft in your chin,

Beautiful Brown-eyed Girl,

You’re quite grown up (too fast!).

I remember you as a Baby Girl,

How did the time sneak past?

Beautiful Brown-eyed Girl,

You’ll soon a lady be.

You’re most a lady as still a girl,

You mean so much to me!

Beautiful Brown-eyed Girl,

With a heart so big for God,

With a life that’s changed by Jesus Christ

And one washed clean by His blood.

Beautiful Brown-eyed Girl,

You’ve served your family well.

You soon will have a home your own.

With a husband and children you’ll dwell.

Beautiful Brown-eyed Girl,

Until you see that day,

Enjoy your life as a single girl

And love Christ in every way.

Beautiful Brown-eyed Girl,

The age between us two

Is great I know, but what a friend!

 I so, so much love you!
