Here's for my beautiful eyes, taken from us on August 14th. I'd thought I'd sort of moved on or reconstructed my life until I heard this song, so much of our life together. We were only married 29 years; a lifetime for so many, so short to Margaret and me. Loved and missed by all who knew, her, met her and spoke to her. Oh she had the prettiest eyes to behold by anybody. Dedicated to Margaret Ellen Roberts, loved by all, missed by everybody. XXX
take a good look at these crows feet ... don't get many of them these days do you? what a tune...my hubby used to sing this to me ... you can't have too many good times children .. miss my man so much xx rip Phil xxx gone too soon xxx
My bf played this to me b4 he died in 2001....I cant stop playing it. It was 13yrs ago now..He played all your songs but this he played the most...I dont have the most beautiful eyes..they're green brown...but he thought they were beautiful. Thank you AJD..I will remember you always..my soul mate..xx
Christina Gough, Beautiful Eyes are not just the colour of your eyeball but around and above your eyes is where beauty lies. Is what this song tries to say.
Christina Gough Oh sweetie you just made me cry. I lost my partner in '94 and got this album around that time. He had HAZEL eyes like yours. He thought they were like swamps I thought they were simply beautiful, he was also my soul mate..hard for anyone to match them huh? :/
Christina Gough O my word, I have just been commenting to try and get people to change how we look with "selfies" on all social sites, plus dating (I am on on one) and all that rubbish and actually look at the person....the soul is the eyes, and I don't normally comment....you have brought tears to my eyes Christina. I send you love to carry on....life is so incredibly cruel. Jan x
My Mum loves this song.... she was well into her 60s when it came out.... and she went and bought their albums after I played them to her! Every time I hear it I think of her. Beautiful!
HARMONIES MELODIES, VERSES, WORDS AND MANY A MUSICAL NOTE ANY WORKS OF PAUL HEATON ARE ALWAYS GUARANTEED TO FLOAT MY BOAT ,WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE ALL THIS TALENT OVER MANY DAYS MONTHS AND YEARS BRINGING ALL US OLD FARTS TOGETHER AND THIS AMAZING MUSIC WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER AND EVER.
I have just looked at the crows feet on the prettiest eyes she smiled and asked what am I looking at, I said you my beautiful soulmate of the past 40 years, love you girl.
after 30 years, my wife and I love our frown lines. Living the dream still. Still living life in love together. Great music and songs by The beautiful south help.
Always makes me think of my wife. 32 years and still love her like i did the minute i met her. 'Take a good look at these crows feet, sitting on the prettiest eyes'.
Wish i could do duet with paul. Hes class x as are all involved in beautiful south so much talent originality and pure innovation these sublime Northerners😍
I used to sing this to a girl that I loved more than I could ever have dreamed. She was perfect in every way. I so wish things had turned out differently. For both of us. I will regret to my dying day that I didn't marry her ....
I was so young when I went to hear these guys play live, with the lightening seeds as their act... loved them them n still do , used to sing this song to my hubby..". And here we are more than a quarter of a century later... I so definitely have the crows feet Paul promised me , just hope my hubby thinks they are still sitting on the prettiest eyes, love 💖 you Philamena Hartigan. Xxxxx
The Beautiful South are most probably one of the best British bands of the last 50 years and definitely don't get the credit they deserve,awesome band,awesome song writers,they compare to Lennon and McCartney for chart success and personally I'd rank them up there with The Stone Roses!
Line one is the time That you, you first stayed over at mine And we drank our first bottle of wine And we cried Line two we're away And we both, we both had nowhere to stay Well the bus-shelter's always OK When you're young Now you're older and I look at your face Every wrinkle is so easy to place And I only write them down just in case That you die Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look Sitting on the prettiest eyes Sixty 25th of Decembers Fifty-nine 4th of Julys Not through the age or the failure, children Not through the hate or despise Take a good look at these crows feet Sitting on the prettiest eyes Line three I forget But I think, I think it was our first ever bet And the horse we backed was short of a leg Never mind Line four in a park And the things, the things that people do in the dark I could hear the faintest beat of your heart Then we did Now you're older and I look at your face Every wrinkle is so easy to place And I only write them down just in case You should die Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look Sitting on the prettiest eyes Sixty 25th of Decembers Fifty-nine 4th of Julys You can't have too many good times, children You can't have too many lines Take a good look at these crows feet Sitting on the prettiest eyes Well my eyes look like a map of the town And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown But you'll never hear the crack of a frown When you are here You'll never hear the crack Of a frown Brilliant :)
I always thought it was 'bus shelter's always the case' as well as 'famous beat of your heart'. Admittedly the second one would be a bit perverse though haha. Sometimes I like mishearing things!
I first started listing to carry on up the charts while I was in jail not the best of places to discover beautiful South but I'm bloody thank full I did I LOVE them brilliant
I've been singing this since it's release... I met a girl 18 years ago She was looking through my cds and said who are these.... I sang this too her and she loved it I've only just remembered as my wife is looking over smiling at me while I sit here with headphones on listen g to old tunes while she's on Netflix
Yer lovelay words from a great group seen them many times Paul Heaton is wasted not singing as liked the house Martins to love my music all sorts listen to songbird by fleetwood mac James
Many below have said it before me but it's true...this is one of the most beautiful and honest love songs ever. I adore it so much!!!!! I have loved P Heaton ever since the Housemartins! One of Britains best song writers!
Achingly beautiful - a deep and meaningful love song, written by one of music's most underrated wordsmiths. I love the idea that each facial line represents a happy memory, and celebrates ageing and meaningful companionship, rather than lamenting it. My wife and I are now both in our 60s, but this has been "our" song for many, many years. She still smiles every time the last verse puts tears in my eyes........
Mentioning the "4th of July" is all the more clever/intersting coming from a band that's so distinctly British. It'd be kind of like an American referencing "Boxing Day" in a song...
jade harley 24 years ago I first heard this on the piped in Muzak where I worked, loved it but thought it was called crash of a frown, twenty four years later...found it!!!!
My young lady friend of some 60 years standing was born with glaucoma in one eye and as I was always attracted to those with "Broken Wings" fell in love with her immediately!! Her calm acceptance of her condition due to her mother's birth problems was amazing! So, she'll always have the "Prettiest Eyes" to me especially as she always considers that "There's people worse off than me" Can't help loving her!!!❤
One Of The Best Of The Unbelievable Tracks That They Released. Means So Much To Us All In Many Different Ways. Thank You Guys For All That You Have Given Us.

From The Housemartins to The Beautiful South > This one's my absolute favorite of all. Never heard a more beautiful song than this. -- ( And I'm still an old American Beatlemaniac in my 60s. )
@@martinklein4651 Hello, Martin - I had a friend whose hubby transferred here to work for a couple of years. We became very close & exchanged our favorite music - They were both born in Liverpool, & I ... well ... you can imagine. Anyway - She introduced me to The Housemartins, & I simply couldn't stop playing those wonderful albums, all of which I have. Then, I was told that Paul Heaton formed The Beautiful South, & I collected all of those as well. My USA friends have no clue who these great musicians are. Their loss, for sure! :)
@@boston-strong8887 Hi, great to hear from you, yes Paul Heaton is in my top four.Of course the Beatles are top.I love Joni Mitchell as well.But it's kind of reverse over here. As I am a big fan of Stephen Stills, but not many Brits know of him.
25 years today since I last spoke n laid eyes on my wonderful brother xxxxx eternal love always Kieron,you took the strength and sunshine 🌞 from our hearts that’s for sure xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
