Lyrics
These brown eyes of mine
Reflecting on the speaker's own brown eyes
They've been doin' some powerful cryin'
Expressing deep emotions and sadness
Thinkin' 'bout all those years
Contemplating about past years
That always bring back the tears
Recalling memories that evoke tears
Winter's come and gone
Noting the passing of winter and the speaker's solitude
And I've been left alone
Feeling abandoned
Now I'm here home with you (I'm here home with you)
Currently being at home with someone (possibly a significant other)
I do all the things that you do
Engaging in shared activities
Then I stop and I look around
Pausing to reflect on the surroundings
I never know if my feet touch the ground
Feeling disconnected or ungrounded
But oh, baby, I know you're right
Acknowledging a partner's correctness or understanding
Seems like a long, long time
Expressing the perception of a prolonged period without contact
Since I've held you in these arms of mine
Longing to hold the partner in their arms
Thinkin' 'bout all those years (Thinkin' 'bout all those years)
Reflecting on past years again
That always bring back the tears
Triggering emotions that result in tears
The winter's come and gone
Reiterating the change of seasons and the speaker's loneliness
And I've been left all alone
Expressing a sense of abandonment
But, oh, baby, I know you're right
Acknowledging the partner's correctness or understanding again
And now that you're far away
Feeling the absence of the partner
I think of your love
Thinking about the love of the absent partner
And I'm praying that you're still mine
Praying for the continued connection with the partner
These brown eyes of mine
Repeating the focus on the speaker's brown eyes
They've been doin' some powerful cryin'
Reiterating intense emotions and crying
Thinkin' 'bout all those years (Thinkin' 'bout all those years)
Reflecting on past years and the associated tears once more
That always bring back the tears
Reemphasizing the emotional impact of memories
Then I stop and I look around
Pausing to observe the surroundings again
I never know if my feet touch the ground
Feeling uncertain or detached
But oh, baby, I know you're right
Affirming the partner's correctness or understanding once more
Baby, I know you're right
Repeating the affirmation of the partner's correctness
Baby, I know you're right
Reiterating the speaker's confidence in the partner's correctness
