Hello! What's wrong?

Ah nothing, no, it's stupid, you wouldn't really-

Nah, you're good man, go ahead

Well, it's just that blue-eyed people

Get all the good compliments

And I have brown eyes, I don't really get any

Your eyes are like dirt (dirt?)

Hold on, I mean that as a compliment

'Cause dirt's the source of food and life in every single continent

They sparkle like topaz, the stars could never parallel

They look so sweet like coffee filled with caramel (that's pretty sweet)

And like the autumn leaves that fall from all the trees

The colors in your eyes aren't as loved as they ought to be

The warmth inside of them matches the heart inside of me

It's like it's meant to be (wow)

See?

Brown eyes can be beautiful too

It's all about loving truly what was given to you

But I'm sure you wanna know if I can do it, if I'm able

What would I say if they were hazel?

Your eyes have a little bit of everything (yeah, obviously)

And I'd rather have a jack of all than a master of one

Your eyes hold true surprise, a single color's no fun

They are second to none, and they dance in the sun

And the one thing I remember about eyes like yours is

I can go sifting through them every time I'm bored

To find nuggets of gold like in the California rivers

If you ever need a gift, a hazel eye is gon' deliver

Whoa, shivers

Those eyes are winners too

It's almost like your eyes are something unique just to you

But I know your mind is wandering as you become serene

What would I say if they were green?

Your eyes shine like emerald in the light (yeah?)

They resemble lovely sights (of?)

Fireflies glowing bright and warming up the night (aw)

An attempt to match the vibrance is a fail on every try

With eyes like four-leaf clovers, know that luck is by your side

'Cause the odds of having eyes with Mother Nature's favorite color

Is a feat that's so rare, you'd be shocked to find another

So whenever you think green is super icky, or it sucks

Just remember that in nature, it's a healthy sign of love

See?

Duh, every eye has magic

Hidden in the iris that's woven tight like fabric

Of course, you're not convinced yet, you must know what I'd do

What would I say if they were blue?

Your eyes are like diamonds (that's cheesy)

You're right, that's easy

And comparing to the sky or ocean waves would feel like cheating

'Cause your eyes are so much more than that, there must be deeper meaning

'Cause your gaze feels like a home I could stay without ever leaving

They are calm, but bold, warm, but cold

With little flecks of green and maybe little flecks of gold

They are windows to the soul and your soul is something special

See, your eyes are just a glimpse of the beauty inside your vessel (wow)

And true beauty there is found outside and from beauty within

And you don't even have to ask how I think I would react

If your eyes were so dark, they looked black

Your eyes are like the boldest of obsidian (like the rock?)

No! Like the glass from a volcano that could blow you to oblivion

It's like one in a million, now you're basking in the glory

Your eyes are pools of ink that could tell like a thousand stories

Your eyes aren't empty, that's far from the truth

Space looks empty too until you get a better view

The night is in your eyes, the universe is part of you

If only you could see yourself how other people do

Phew!

I won't lie, what a crazy journey

But it isn't finished yet, there's still a color that's yearning

So join me in this moment, there's no need for more delay

What would I say if they were gray?

Your eyes remind me of the moon (no way)

It's true! They're the light inside the dark

Can change the tide when they're in view

The dark being the world, the tide being my mood

Your eyes blow me away like hurricanes and monsoons

I knew the moment that I met your gaze of steel

That your eyes were holding stories that may never be revealed

They are fierce at first, and you may think that's not ideal

But I hope you come to learn the comfort you make others feel

Hooray!

I think we're finally done

A simple song for every eye that's shining in the sun

Even after this, I'm sure I probably missed a few

But I hope by now we've learned that the beauty's inside of you
