Ever since I saw the thriller “Sleeping With the Enemy” with Julia Roberts I have really enjoyed the song “Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison. I am a blue-eyed girl and there are enough songs about girls with blue eyes. My mom was a brown-eyed girl and she always said there were too few songs written about girls with brown eyes in both English and Latvian so I think she would have also loved this song.
“Brown Eyed Girl” is a song written by Van Morrison. It became known as his signature song and still, today remains a staple on classic rock radio.
With this, I could not resist adding a poem I wrote back in 2015 all about brown eyes. Entirely my version.
Brown Eyes
The day was clear as a bell
the sky the bluest blue
fields full of daisies
the smell of the new-mown grass
was intoxicating indeed
he was entranced by the beauty of it all
a stroll down a country lane
filled his heart with joy
he didn’t notice her at first
but as he sat resting
near a field where red poppies
bobbed their heads in the wind
he heard a low sound
a most delicate movement
and then liquid brown eyes
looked down into his
her brown skin
shimmered in the heat
of the summer sun
he breathlessly watched her
as she stood munching on some grass
then ever so quietly
she let out a soft moo
by far she was the loveliest
cow he had ever seen.
Who likes this song? Who are the brown-eyed girls out there? Any guys in love with brown-eyed girls?

I am familiar with the song. It depends on who the brown eyes are attached to!
