I Used to Be Color Blind
Strange how a dreary
World can suddenly change
To a world as bright
As the evening star
Queer, what a difference
When your vision is clear
And you see things
As they really are
I used to be color blind
But I met you and now I find
There's green in the grass
There's gold in the moon
There's blue in the skies
That semi-circle that was
Always hanging about
Is not a storm cloud, it's a rainbow
You brought the colors out
Believe me it's really true
Till I met you I never knew
A setting sun could paint
Such beautiful skies
I never knew there were such lovely colors
And the big surprise
Is the red in your cheeks
The gold in your hair
The blue in your eyes
I never knew there were such lovely colors
And the big surprise
Is the red in your cheeks
The gold in your hair
The blue in your eyes
I used to be color blind
World can suddenly change
To a world as bright
As the evening star
Queer, what a difference
When your vision is clear
And you see things
As they really are
I used to be color blind
But I met you and now I find
There's green in the grass
There's gold in the moon
There's blue in the skies
That semi-circle that was
Always hanging about
Is not a storm cloud, it's a rainbow
You brought the colors out
Believe me it's really true
Till I met you I never knew
A setting sun could paint
Such beautiful skies
I never knew there were such lovely colors
And the big surprise
Is the red in your cheeks
The gold in your hair
The blue in your eyes
I never knew there were such lovely colors
And the big surprise
Is the red in your cheeks
The gold in your hair
The blue in your eyes
I used to be color blind
