Rupert Holmes Lyrics
"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
