Green Eyes Lyrics

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand

The green eyes
Yeah the spotlight
Shines upon you

And how could
Anybody
Deny you?

I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you

Green Eyes

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 I wanted to find
And anyone who
Tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind

Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter since I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you

Green Eyes
Green Eyes
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand

Don't quote me on this...but I'm pretty positive that the song was written about Natalie Imbruglia because Chris Martin had been dating her prior to Gwenyth when he was writing the song. And that he no longer plays this song in concert. Gwenyth has blue eyes.

Actually, he wrote this song about his cat.

I love this song. I love it when it stops being just a guitar, and the drums and bass come in. Very well done live, too. Coldplay is amazing.

"I came here with a load, And it feels so much lighter now I met you, "

That is great. And everything else is amazingly adorable and sweet. Aww.

I adore this song. Oddly enough, I heard somewhere that Chris, the lead singer, is/was dating Gwyeth Paltrow and she has green eyes. Kind of makes sense ("spotlight shines on you"). shrug

Either way, this song is just beautiful, expressing the feelings a guy feels for his green-eyed love.

I love having green eyes. hehe

As a couple of other people have said, this song was written about pop singer Natalie Imbruglia who clearly has deep green eyes.

Chris Martin dated Natalie briefly, before she got back together with (and eventually married) Daniel Johns of Australian band Silverchair, who she'd been going out with prior to Chris. That's why Coldplay stopped playing it in concert.

@Lanta Natalie Imbruglia's eyes are blue...

I swear, this song was written for my boy and I...

I aboslutely love this song! Its one of those kinda songs that you wish someone would sing to you... To me hes saying how much he looked for someone he would altogether love. He found what he wanted in her, and everything is so much easier and more simple for him now that he has her. ... I also have green eyes so that is probably yet another reason why i like this song so much. I wish i could find a love like that.

This song sums up my love for my honey.
