The song is the eleventh track on Bruce Springsteen’s Human Touch.
The lyrics are sung from the point of view of a lonely man, still in love with his girl who has gone away and found love in another man.
The narrator of the song is still able to feel love, and he is still able to see the beauty of...
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
The 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
