Green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you

Once Upon a time, a long long time ago, I listened to music quite a lot.  I don't do that much anymore because.....well I don't know why.  Maybe because old music brings me somewhere sad, somewhere where I had different dreams and a different outlook for my future.  I have a hard time with nostalgia, its hurts my insides....even happy times hurt my insides so I try not to dwell on the past.

Anyway, today I went back and listened to one of my all times favorite songs "Green Eyes" by Coldplay.  In my youth I selfishly thought that any man who would be worthy enough to marry me  would have to psychically know I loved this song and he would proceed to propose to me with it (I have green eyes, if you couldn't figure that out already).  In my 8 years of date, not one guy was psychic....or even liked Coldplay enough to have a clue.  Regardless this song has stayed my favorite.


 14 months ago I gave birth to a little Green Eyed baby girl.  Today after reading the lyrics i realized.....this song i not about me, its about Lia.  It was never for me, it has always been a song I loved because it would be for her.  Ah, Baby Girl, Shes insane, but she is mine :)




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

That 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’ve 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 that I wanted to find
And anyone who, tried to deny you must be out of their mind

Cause I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, since I met you
Honey you should know, that I could never go on without you

Green eyes
Green eyes

Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo

Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
