Discover the story of the song > Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison

The lyrics are about a man reminiscing about his past with his former girlfriend, who has brown eyes. They used to play games, run, and jump together in the rain and misty mornings. They also used to go to the old mine with a transistor radio, laughing and sliding along the waterfall. The man saw her recently and remembered making love in the green grass behind the stadium. The chorus repeats a "sha-la-la" melody.
