lyrics

Could you ever love a blind man?
I could if he saw me as I am
Colors bathe the world in beauty
He sees with his ever-reaching hands
His dwindling eyes find love alight
A future for the mind's true flight

Could you ever pick a blind man?
I would if he saw me as I am
Reason warns me of misfortune
This is a despair I understand
With sorrow has my heart lain
Though won't release the cost of claim

Could you ever want a blind man?
I should if he saw me as I am
I can see the world exalting
The love of a pair just holding hands
But treasure grows a plenty
With shared ordeals and empathy

Would you ever love a blind man?
I would when he knows me as I am
Would you ever love a blind man?
I know I would love him as I can
