There's a little brown road winding over a hill
To a little white cot' by the sea.
There's a little green gate
At whose palace I'll wait
While two eyes of blue
Come shining through
At me.

There's a grey lock or two
In the brown of his hair.
There's some silver in mine too I see.
But in all the long years
When the clouds brought the tears
Those two eyes of blue
Came smiling through
At me.

This was on an old home recording my dad had picked up at a swap meet or something. I played it over and over until I learned the words. I think there's another stanza but this is all I remember. It was sung by a soprano who sounded like a very young girl so I related to her.
