How about "Life in a Nutshell" by Barenaked Ladies?
>She memorized
>Every pencil crayon colour in the box
>Her blue-green eyes
>Complement the burnt sienna in her locks
>She's at the movies, I'm on the phone
>When we're separated we're never alone, but still
>it's never enough, it's never enough,
>No it's never enough
A fun, pop-but-smart love song.
"Temptation", by New Order, sort of.
"Oh, you've got green eyes / Oh, you've got grey eyes / Oh, you've got blue eyes"
Way back in the '70s, there was "Green-Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf. 'Twas a hit and all....

eta²: From iTunes:
- "Baby Green Eyes" - Hot Rods
- "Big Green Eyes" - Brian
- "Black Hair, Green Eyes" - Isobella
- "Blue Jeans and Green Eyes" - Dave Turner
- "Devil with the Green Eyes" - Matthew Sweet

plus about twenty different groups have songs called "Green Eyes"
Of course, I have no idea what any of these songs sound like (Except for the Sugarloaf one).
Oh, and "When She Comes Around" by Steve Wynn - I love that song....
Doesn't Coldplay have a song called "Green Eyes"?
Yeah. That one one of the popular hits when I did the google....

"green eyes" lyrics -coldplay
...comes up with quite a lot. (The '-coldplay' eliminates all the Coldplay matches, as there are quite a lot of them.)
Yeah, a friend of mine danced to the Coldplay song at her wedding --both bride and groom have green eyes.
Also, "Torn Green Velvet Eyes" by The Magnetic Fields. (The only green eyes song I have.)
Yeah, I found the ones titled "green eyes" (even went through all the ones on iTunes). I was thinking you guys might know more. Thanks!
Anybody know any? Preferably up-beat and likely to be liked by someone who likes music like until Brown-Eyed Girl.
I think The Silos did "Pale Green Eyes." Or maybe Zeitgeist/Reivers. But I think it's the Silos.
When I was making a wedding mix for a green-eyed friend, her favorite was the hidden track (it's the last two minutes of the song "simonize") from Pete Yorn's first album
Music for the Morning After.
The first line is "Someday I'll look into her green eyes..."
It was the only green-eye song I could find at the time.
