I was just listening to the Smiths song Reel Around the Fountain, and as the song was finishing up, I asked my husband what was his favorite Smiths song. He said, “The one that goes, Oh you’ve got blue eyes…oh you’ve got green eyes…oh you’ve got green eyes.” Here are the song lyrics:

Oh, you’ve got green eyes
Oh, you’ve got blue eyes
Oh, you’ve got grey eyes
Oh, you’ve got green eyes
Oh, you’ve got blue eyes
Oh, you’ve got grey eyes
And I’ve never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I’ve never met anyone quite like you before

I said, “Well, OK, honey, but that’s not a Smiths song, but I’ll play it anyway.”

And so right now, we are listening to Temptation, by New Order. Which he says always reminds him of me, because he can never tell what color my eyes “truly” are.

If that ain’t romance, I honestly don’t know what is!
