Lyrics
Strange how a dreary world can suddenly change
To a world as bright as the evening star
Queer, what a diff’rence when your vision is clear
And you see things as they really are
Chorus
I used to be color blind
But I met you and now I find
There’s green in the grass
There’s gold in the moon
There’s blue in the skies
That semicircle that was always hanging about
Is not a storm-cloud, it’s a rainbow
You brought the colors out
Believe me, it’s really true
‘Til I met you I never knew a setting sun
Could paint such beautiful skies
I never knew there were such lovely colors
And the big surprise
Is the red in your cheeks
The gold in your hair
The blue in your eyes
