That's When I See the Blues (In Your Pretty Brown
Jim Reeves · The Essential Jim Reeves [RCA Nashville/Legacy] [2006]
You say it's over, now
But it's easy to see
You still belong to him
You're not happy with me.
You can hide all your feelings
Until he passes by
That's when I see the blues
In your pretty brown eyes.
Your pretty brown eyes
Keep telling me lies
But they can't hide the hurt
With a smile of disguise.
You can hide all your feelings
Until he passes by
That's when I see the blues
In your pretty brown eyes.
--- Instrumental ---
Your pretty brown eyes
Keep telling me lies
But they can't hide the hurt
With a smile of disguise.
You can hide all your feelings
Until he passes by
That's when I see the blues
In your pretty brown eyes...
