Love has made me blind
New eyes I'd never seen
Caught my attention like no other
A new voice, unfamiliar-
A voice I wanted to know.
A look, a smile, a wave,
And a "hey."
A voice that was now familiar,
And sounded like no other.
From every now and then
To always together-
A stranger I never thought I'd know
Is now the person I never leave alone.
A walk, a talk, a call... and I fall-
To fall hard, to fall fast,
Forgetting there's always a bottom.
The voice I love to hear
Now slips from my ear.
No smile, no wave-
When my eyes meet theirs, they look away.
To fall hard, to fall fast-
I never thought they would live in my past.
To be loved is to be seen.
To be loved is the dream.
But love I cannot find,
For love has made me blind
