Coffee Brown Eyes

[Verse 1]
In Romaris cantina I loved her the first time I saw her
My heart danced away to the music of Spanish guitars
Her kisses had me feeling like I had too much Tequila
Then we made mucho amor there under the stars

[Verse 2]
I didn't know at the time our love was forbidden
Her family just did not approve of a Gringo like me
We’d meet at an old run down shack just south of the river
And I'd hold her close and whisper to her tenderly

[Chorus]
Coffee brown eyes, hair like a raven
It's her love she’s saving for me every night when the moon turns to gold
Coffee brown eyes, soft as an angel
It's heaven I found in a small border town down in Old Mexico

[Verse 3]
I rode my pony up to the shack late one evening
I'd been on the run and it seemed like forever or more
I felt a cold empty feeling well up inside me
When all that I found was an unsigned note on the door

[Verse 4]
Your coffee brown eyes passed away early this morning
The last thing she said was tell him true love never dies
She kept the secret of your love hidden inside her
'Til this morning a baby was born with coffee brown eyes

[Chorus]
Coffee brown eyes, hair like a raven
It's her love she's saving for me every night when the moon turns to gold
Coffee brown eyes, soft as an angel
It's heaven I found in a small border town down in Old Mexico
Coffee brown eyes
