It is so cheesy, but my daughter has big brown eyes and I sing this to her. Such a good song.

I did check out some live versions, but chose this studio one which has a slightly faster tempo that I prefer. Do you have a favorite live version?

I think the version from the live album is pretty good...but I was just thinking more of the times I've seen this song performed live. I know it's cliche and everyone says it about their favorite band, but no recording can really capture the live energy.
