I Wish I Were Blind

I love to see the cottonwood blossom

In the early spring

I love to see the message of love

That the bluebird brings

But when I see you walkin' with him

Down along the strand

I wish I were blind

When I see you with your man

I love to see your hair shining

In the long summer's light

I love to watch the stars fill the sky

On a summer night

Music plays, you take his hand

I watch how you touch him as you start to dance

That's when I wish I were blind

When I see you with your man

We struggle here but all our love's in vain

Oh, these eyes that once filled me with your beauty

Now fill me with pain

And the light that once entered here

Is banished from me

Oh, and this darkness is all, baby, that my heart sees

And though this world is filled

With the grace and beauty of God's hand

Oh, I wish I were blind

When I see you with your man

We struggle here but all our love's in vain

Oh, these eyes that once filled me with your beauty

Now fill me with pain

And the light that once entered here

Is banished from me

Oh, and this darkness is all, baby, my heart sees

And though the world is filled

With the grace and beauty of God's hand

Oh, I wish I were blind

When I see you with your man

Oh, I wish I were blind

When I see you with your man

Oh, I wish I were blind

When I see you with your man
