We do need a good song for us green eyed gals. How about " When Irish Eyes are Smiling"? Irish and green are almost the same.

Major kudos!!!As a woman that HAS brown eyes, let me say...
I love, love, love Van Morrison!!!
(But not that particular song.)
Nonetheless ...
Cool to see another Van "the Man" Morrison fan. Brown Eyed Girl is far from his best work, and it is so over played and burned out. Songs like Moondance, Tupelo Honey and Into the Mystic are better examples of his style. My personal favorite is still his Days Like This album. Raincheck, No Religion, Days Like This, Perfect Fit; great stuff.
Green Eyed Lady - SugarLoaf
More Eye songs of the top of my head
Brown Eyed Handsome Man - The Hollies
Pretty Blue Eyes - The Crickets
Bluest Eyes in Texas - Restless Heart
Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain - Willie Nelson
Angel Eyes - The Jeff Healey Band
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - The Platters
Look into Your Eyes - Firehouse
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
Suite Judy Blue Eyes - Crosby Stills & Nash
Pale Blue Eyes - Velvet Underground
and the last one I could think of in one shot. . . .
Eye of the Tiger - Surviver

I feel the urge, the urge to submerge! -ScubaHawk - Raptor of the Deep !
WHO DAT!!!!

Interesting that you would choose a latter day album as your favourite! (I still think the best of his work was done in the 70s -- or at least album-wise.)
Speaking of albums...
Although my favourite overall would be Veedon Fleece, I love the live album, A Night in San Franscisco. Who knew "Moondance" and "My Funny Valentine" would fit together so seamlessly!
As for your *eyes* songs ...
Especially VU's "Pale Blue Eyes"! (REM has an interesting cover of it, BTW.)
If I may add two more ...
"I Only Have Eyes For You" - The Flamingos
"Them There Eyes" - Sarah Vaughan

P.S. Give me some credit here, those were all the Eye songs that I could think of in one go. A dozen songs and artists in one shot!
As soon as I sent the post I thought of
Eyes Without a Face - Billy Idol
Eye in the Sky - Alan Parson's Project
These Eyes - The Guess Who

They are mostly green.. but they do tend to change colors.Are your eyes green or hazel? I see a conflict.
ha·zel ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hzl)
n.
1. Any of various shrubs or small trees of the genus Corylus, especially the European species C. avellana or the American species C. americana, bearing edible nuts enclosed in a leafy husk. Also called filbert.
2. A hazelnut.
3. A light brown or yellowish brown.
They are not a shrub or small tree.
They are not a hazelnut
they DO sometimes turn sort of a light brown.
Walter..
they are what they are..... to put them in a specific color BOX is just too much to ask.

Jolene by Dolly Parton
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There’s nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don’t know what he means to me, jolene
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He’s the only one for me, jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, jolene
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don’t take him even though you can
Jolene, jolene

As suggested by Henry . . .I will hunt for a great song that tell how wonderful the green eyed gals are..
Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf
Green eyed lady, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun
Green eyed lady, ocean lady
Soothing every wave that comes
Green eyed lady, passion's lady
Dressed in love she lives for life to be
Green eyed lady, feels like I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free
Green eyed lady, wind swept lady
Moves the night the waves the sand
Green eyed lady, ocean lady
Child of nature, friend of man
Green eyed lady, passion's lady
Dressed in love she lives for life to be
Green eyed lady, feels like I never see
Setting sons and lonely lovers free
