about

Started writing this song in the mid 1980's!! I lacked the life experience back then to finish it. I have it now.

lyrics

Hazel Eyes
Alex Vann (started 1985, complete 2011)


CHORUS
C G Am E F C Gsus4 G
Hey Hazel Eyes, in the middle of our lives
F Am E F G C
I remember when, things were simpler then, Hey-ey, Hazel Eyes.


Verse 1
C Dm7
Looking back to when we first met
Am Am/G F
We were just kids without a care, without a clue
G Gaug(F#) Am /G /F#
Only when you held me then could I let my love flow
C Dm7
You were my guide you were my best friend
Am Am/G /F
You gave me life you gave me love you gave it all
G Gaug(F#) Am /G /F#
And through it all, we had a ball but good things never last
F F+G F+Am F+G G
“Sorry” seems a hollow word but I’ll say it anyway

CHORUS (repeat)

Verse 2
C Dm7
Growing up seemed very hard to do,
Am Am/G F
We got married got a mortgage became three
G Gaug(F#) Am /G /F#
But I’m different now, I’ve changed somehow and I had to set you free
C Dm7
Life and love are complicated.
Am Am/G /F
The more you live the more you let love slip away
G Gaug(F#) Am /G /F#
But know this now, I loved you and how, I don’t regret a day
F F+G F+Am F+G G
“Sorry” seems a hollow word but I’ll say it anyway


CHORUS (repeat)
