I Wish I Were Blind (Live at Warner Hollywood Studios, Los Angeles, CA - September 1992) Lyrics

[Verse]
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
Well, I wish I were blind when I see you with your man

[Verse]
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
The music sways, you take his hand
I watch how you touch him as you start to dance
And I wish I were blind when I see you with your man

[Bridge]
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
And this darkness is all, baby, my heart sees

[Verse]
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

[Bridge]
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
And this darkness is all, baby, my heart sees
[Verse]
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
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
