The Best Of 1980-89 - Dawn Changes Everything

Good title!
I myself have thougt of "Only To Be With You" as the title, since it connects with the theme of many songs from the 80´s, from "If you walk away I will follow" to "When all I want is you", but Dawn Changes Everything is a very poetic title that catches the imagery of Bono´s lyrics in teh 80's.
The 90's Best of- album, on the other hand, has a given title: "Babe, It Must Be Art!"
The title of the 00's Best of-album will probably have something with Beautiful (Beautiful Day, Oh, you look so beautiful, You don't know how beautiful you are) - but what cover picture should it have?
