I wish i were blind

I love to see the cotton wood 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 to see your hair shinin' in a long summers light
I love to watch the stars fill the sky on a summers night
music plays, 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

we struggle here, but all our love's in vain
and 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 that my heart sees
and though this world is filled with the grace and
beauty of god's hand
I wish i were blind when I see you with your man
