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
