Never saw the sun rise in the morning
Or goin' down at the close of the day
Maybe I was far too busy worrying
Maybe I just looked the other way

And I wonder why I never saw it there before
When it was oh so plain to see
No I just don't know how I never saw it there before
Just how blind can one man be?

Never saw tall trees reaching to the sky
Only saw the dead leaves on the ground
Only saw the darkness here inside of me
Never saw the wonder all around

And I wonder why I never saw it there before
When it was oh so plain to see
No I just don't know how I never saw it there before
Just how blind can one man be?

Never saw the smile on my baby's face
Couldn't see the love shining in her eye
Never saw the tears rolling down her cheeks
When she was waving me goodbye

And I wonder why I never saw them there before
When they were oh so plain to see
No I just don't know how I never saw them there before
Just how blind can one man be?
Oh yeah
Just how blind can one man be?
Oh yeah
Just how blind can one man be?
