I like blue eyes, hers are green
Not like the woman of my dreams
And her hair's not quite as long as I had planned
Five foot three isn't tall
She's not the girl I pictured at all
In those paint by number fantasies I've had

So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I was looking for
She's more

No, it wasn't at first sight
But the moment I looked twice
I saw the woman I was born to love
Her laughter fills my soul
And when I hold her I don't want to let go
When it comes to her I can't get enough

So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I was looking for
She's more

More than I dreamed of
More than any man deserves
I couldn't ask for more
Than a love like hers

So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I was looking for
She's more.

    This is the most wonderful song, it shows that a guy can love a girl who isnt perfect :)

    I love this song. I think that it's about how the one you fall in love with isn't usually the dream girl you've always had... that they're better than that.

    I love this song too. It has pretty powerful meaning for me because I always imagined falling in love with my dream guy until I met my now boyfriend. I realized that love can come in all shapes and sizes.

    Yeah, what a wonderful song. It's so true! I realized that one cannot always have their ideal girlfriend/boyfriend. Well I did anyway; she's wonderful!

    This is one of my favorite songs...it always makes me happy. My boyfriend sent it to me when we first got together, and he said that it described how he felt about me perfectly. It was so amazingly sweet...melts

    I love this song. It's totally about having that one person in your head who you think is your ideal partner then you meet someone completely different then you thought you were going to end up with. This reminds me of my first gf, especially the "i like blue eyes, hers are green" and "so it took me by complete surprise when my heart got lost in those deep green eyes" it maks me think back to that moment when my dream girl wasn't what i fell in love with but this girl was so much more to me.

    My now fiance told me that he really liked this song when we first started dating. He told me that this song reminded him of me. Little did he know that this has always been one of my favorite Andy Griggs songs.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Album art
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
