Rupert Holmes — Nearsighted

If you take these glasses from my face, I think that you will find I'm undeniably, certifiably just this shade of blind But I don't envy those of you with 20/20 vision Who see the world for all it's worth with crystal clear precision There's more to see than can be seen, more said than what is heard The day is brighter, softer, lighter when it's slightly blurred Nearsighted, it's another lovely day Nearsighted, so I stumble on my way I don't judge a friend or lover by a first or second look Nor a book just by its cover, hell, I can't even see the book Nearsighted, loving life is such a breeze Nearsighted, 'cause I see just what I please And it pleases me to see you I won't change my point of view Nearsighted, nearsighted Nearsighted, all I need to see is you Though I'm slightly out of focus, I can see my dreams come true Clear-sighted, I'm nearsighted Nearsighted, all I need to see is you, you
