2. I wanted to run she made me crawl Ohhhhhh the sweetest thing
3. Blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl Ohhhhhh the sweetest thing

2. Eternal fire, she turned me to straw Ohhhhhh the sweetest thing
3. You can sew it up but you still see the tear Ohhhhhh the sweetest thing

1. Baby's got blue skies over head but in this I'm a rain cloud.
2. You know I got black eyes, but they burn so brightly for her
3. Baby's got blue skies over head and in this I'm a rain cloud.

1. You know she likes a dry kind of love. Ohhhhhh the sweetest thing
2. Mine is a blind kind of love. Ohhhhhh the sweetest thing
3. You know we got a stormy kind of love. Ohhhhhh the sweetest thing


I'm losing you, yeahhhh heyyyy, I'm losing you, yeahhh

I love the random elephant in the back too. Awesome video for an awesome song. It always makes me smile. I'm sure his wife does love him, it was just a momentary thing probably. I don't really know....I listen to music not news.

My love she throws me like a rubber ball But in this I'm a rain cloud You know she wants a dry kind of love I wanted to run but she made me crawl Eternal fire, she turned me to straw You can sew it up but you still see the tear ~ I can't get over the imageries! Simple, but effective. This is the song that first made me interested in U2 :)

this is the song that made me interested in then to begin with when it came out. it's basically about a guy who is has fallen hardcore for some chick who neglets. He knows it but that can't change how he feels.

i agree. this song is beautiful... it's kinda sad though. how she treats him bad, and he still loves her... but the song is still good. ohh. and about the video... when he sings "blue-eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl..." and he takes his glasses off, he has the prettiest blue eyes! just a random though. =]

Personally, this is one of my favorite songs. It's not their usual sound, but I think that fact makes it very unique. And yes, I had no idea Bono's eyes were blue until I saw the music video!

I heard this song was written by Bono after he once cheated on his wife whilst on tour. I think the line 'You can sew it up but you still see the tear' shows that he's sorry for what he did and no matter what he does to make up for it there is still some 'scars' in their relationship. Don't know if it's true, but he clearly is trying eveything to say he's sorry. Comedy appearance by Westlife. Class.

I'm a big U2 fan, but the song (and the video) is nauseating.

I can't stand U2 usually, but this is one of my favourite songs...yeah, I don't get it either. I guess it's because according to a lot of the other posts, it's different from U2's usual sound. Well, it's a great song, and it's really cool that he loves her even after she treats him like shit. Now THAT'S real love. On his part, at least

I love this song. It's so cute. This guy is still so in love with this girl, even though she totally disrespects him. It is kinda sad, though. But all in all, great song.

Alli and Bono have a very happy marriage. Just because he went a little overboard in an "I'm sorry" gesture doesn't change that. Both of them deserve the best the world can offer, they are actully getting out there and helping the world.

this a very sweet song, the unusual U2. But i kew why. Bono made this song for his wife ten years before the singlewas released. He forgot her birthday and she got mad with him. he drank a lot and made the song. Even so un-U2, i loved it, and the clip is really nice.

I remember seeing an interview about this song once, and some of the previous posts are correct, Bono wrote it after he forgot his missus birthday. This explains all the 'I'm Sorry' messages in the video. All in all, this is a truely remarkable song, and I love it to bits.

anafashion so you say he was drunk when he wrote this. don't you think Bono should drink more then? it's amazing. it's so sad that his wife doesn't love him back as much as he loves her, Bono really deserves that

this was "our song" with an old boyfriend, so it's bittersweet for me it was our song 'cos he would sing it to me only he sang it "green-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl"
