Sarah Brown Eyes Song Lyrics

---

COALHOUSE
What's your name?

SARAH
Sarah.

COALHOUSE
I'm Coalhouse.

SARAH
I know.

COALHOUSE
There was no music in my heart tonight.
Melodies kept refusin' to flow
One look at you, now every note feels right
Comin' out all sweet and slow.

SARAH
You tell stories
Like your hands play tunes

COALHOUSE
Sweetest tune I know
Is Sarah Brown Eyes
Don't be shy, now
Sarah Brown Eyes
Oughta take a chance
The stars are silver notes
Across that sky now
Sarah Brown Eyes.
Come, let's dance.

SARAH
I never heard no music
Quite like yours
Where'd you learn
How to play it that way?
Was I smart,
I'd walk right out those doors.

COALHOUSE
Then I've got to make you stay.

BOTH
Nothin' for it but a Ragtime tune
On that piano...
Sarah Brown Eyes
Don't be shy now
Sarah Brown Eyes
Oughta take a chance
The stars are silver notes
Across that sky now
Sarah Brown Eyes.
Come, let's dance.

(They dance without touching.)

BOTH
Silver notes
Across that sky now
Sarah Brown Eyes.
Come, let's

SARAH
Dance.
