Lyrics

I close my eyes and drift away
back to memories of yesterday
Running through fields near my childhood home
I’m a young man now
seventeen, off to see the world as a marine
Missing my home for two long years

These old hazel eyes have seen so much
sunsets bright from God’s paintbrush
It brings salty tears to my old hazel eyes
These old hazel eyes watch life pass by
Weddings, lullabies, and sad goodbyes
There’s one thing I truly know
my family is the prize
My love for them is all I can see
These old hazel eyes

I’m married now and a father of four
having a loving wife that I adore
Life is happy then
good times make me smile

These old hazel eyes have seen so much
sunsets bright from God’s paintbrush
It brings salty tears to my old hazel eyes
These old hazel eyes watch life pass by
Weddings, lullabies, and sad goodbyes
There’s one thing I truly know
my family is the prize
My love for them is all I can see
These old hazel eyes
These old hazel eyes

I’m 92 years now and a grateful man
have a wonderful family and such dear friends
Whatever happens next will be God’s plan

These old hazel eyes have seen so much
sunsets bright from God’s paintbrush
It brings salty tears to my weary eyes
I’ll close one last time
These old hazel eyes
These old hazel eyes watch life pass by
Weddings, lullabies, and sad goodbyes
There’s one thing I truly know
my family is the prize
My love for them is all I can see
My love for them is all I can see
Through these old hazel eyes
Through these old hazel eyes
