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   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   Oh I wish I were blind   When I see you with your man      (acoustic)      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      Oh I wish I were blind   When I see you with your man (3x)
