[Intro]

[Verse]
G C
I love to see cottonwoods blossom in the early spring
D G
I love to see the message of love that the bluebird brings.
C D G Em
But when I see you walking with him down along the strand
C D G
I wish I were blind when I see you with your man.
G C
I love to see your hair shining in the long summer's light.
D G
I love to watch as stars fill the sky on a summer night.
C D
Music plays, you take his hand,
G Em
I watch how you touch him as you start to dance
C D G
And I wish I were blind when I see you with your man.
[Chorus]
C D G
We struggle here but all our love's in vain
C D
Well, these eyes that once filled me with your beauty
G C G C
Now fill me with pain.
C D
And the light that once entered here
G Em
Is banished from me.
C D
Oh, and this darkness is all baby that my heart sees.
C
And though this world is filled with the
D G Em
Grace and beauty of God's hand,
C D G
I wish I were blind when I see you with your man.
