Rupert Holmes Nearsighted
If you take these glasses from my face
Think that you would find
I'm undeniably, certifiably just a shade of blind
I don't envy those of you
With 20/20 vision
Who've seen the world for all its worth
With crystal clear precision
There's more to see than can be seen or said than what
is heard
The day is brighter, softer, lighter
When it's slighted blurred
Nearsighted, it's another lovely day
Nearsighted, so I stumble on my way
I don't just a friend or lover
By a first or second look
Nor a book just by its cover
No, 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.
