Here are the lyrics
______________________

Hello, what's wrong?
Ah, nothing, no, it's stupid
You wouldn't really—
Nah, you're good man, go ahead
It's just that blue-eyed people get all of 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 want to 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
Well, 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 going to deliver

Woah, 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 emeralds in the light (Yeah?)
They resemble lovely sights (Of?)
Fireflies glowing bright
And warming up the night (Aw)
An attempt to match their vibrance
Is a fail on every try
With eyes like four-leaf clovers
Know that luck is by your side
Because 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
[Break]
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
And 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 that 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've probably missed a few
But I hope by now we've learned
That the beauty's inside of you
