Was Blind But Now I See

Was blind but now I see When I left you were a sweet girl Your innocence was golden If only this fool Realized the treasure he possessed Without thinking I let you go Years have now passed That foolish young man is gone All that is left of me Is this seasoned foolish man Blind to the beauty That was you Was I afraid of love? Sitting here I now know the answer I was afraid to love you I was also afraid to lose you The times we shared I keep hidden away In the chambers of this heart Your face made the sun envious of the glow Your eyes I could get lost within them Your hair danced in the breeze oh so freely The touch of your skin I think I will keep that thought My own personal secret I did not know it then I now see The girl I always dreamed of Was always standing in front of me My only true regret in this life Of not expressing the way I feel Shyness was a curse to me Boldness is now my voice But I am too late To say how I felt Like a candle burning So does my heart melt Wishing for a moment back then To say to you That I have always loved you
