I love to see the cottonwood blossom
00:11
In the early spring
00:15
I love to see the message of love
00:20
That the bluebird brings
00:24
But when I see you walkin' with him
00:28
Down along the strand
00:33
Well, I wish I were blind
00:37
When I see you with your man
00:41
I love to see your hair shining
00:47
In the long summer's light
00:53
I love to watch the stars fill the sky
00:57
On a summer night
01:01
Music plays, you take his hand
01:06
I watch how you touch him as you start to dance
01:10
That's when I wish I were blind
01:14
When I see you with your man
01:18
We struggle here but all our love's in vain
01:25
Oh, these eyes that once filled me with your beauty
01:33
Now fill me with pain
01:38
And the light that once entered here
01:43
Is banished from me
01:47
Oh, and this darkness is all, baby, that my heart sees
01:53
And though this world is filled
02:00
With the grace and beauty of God's hand
02:06
Oh, I wish I were blind
02:10
When I see you with your man
02:14
We struggle here but all our love's in vain
02:53
Oh, these eyes that once filled me with your beauty
03:02
Now fill me with pain
03:06
And the light that once entered here
03:11
Is banished from me
03:16
Oh, and this darkness is all, baby, my heart sees
03:21
And though the world is filled
03:27
With the grace and beauty of God's hand
03:33
Oh, I wish I were blind
03:37
When I see you with your man
03:41
Oh, I wish I were blind
03:46
When I see you with your man
03:50
Oh, I wish I were blind
03:54
When I see you with your man
03:58

[English]
I love to see the cottonwood blossomIn 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
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
