A song for every eye color? (Lyrics #13)

I always thought 'Brown-eyed Girl' was a cute song, but having very blue eyes, was never obsessed with the song. Over the past few years, a couple of songs have jumped out at me because they are about other eye colors. It's even in the song titles.

Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are

Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know
That green eyes, you’re the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who, tried to deny you must be out of their mind


Are there other eye color songs out there I don't know about?

The first song is 'Blue Eyes' by Cary Brothers, and the second one is 'Green Eyes' by Coldplay.

I think there is an old song with the line "Baby, make my brown eyes blue". But I can't find it when I google it. I'm probably looking in the wrong place.

I feel like there is another eye color song that I know of but can't think of.... maybe it will come to me later.

danielle, were you thinking of "Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue"? I vaguely feel like I've heard of that song, too...

There are tons of eye-color songs... I had no idea! See:

I don't know that Coldplay one. I didn't know there were any for us green-eyes!

(I felt the same way about brown-eyed girl. So I was always preferential to "Long cool woman in a black dress, just a 5'9" beautiful tall", especially because I used to think it was "blonde cool woman".)

Sparkling Red said...

Neat. I never knew there was a song for greenies.

Jenski said...

Danielle, anything? Did it come to you? :)

Thanks, Molly!

See Ern & Sparkling Red, green eyes totally make an impression on people. I'm a little surprised that there aren't more green eye songs because they are so noticeable.

Ern, "Blonde cool woman" sounds like some pretty good misheard lyrics!

Danielle said...

No, it never came to me. And the one that Molly is thinking of is the right lyric. I'm not always so hot at remembering the specific words of lyrics - just the tune.

The song Danielle and Molly are talking about was sung by Crystal Gayle.

Brown-Eyed Girl, by Van Morrison.

Green-Eyed Lady, by Sugarloaf. (and some cover in the late 80's by some guy I can't remember at the moment)

Don't forget Motley Crue's Starry Eyes, though that's hardly a color.
