Blessing In Disguise

(Kris Kristofferson)



Well, I guess you know you took me by surprise

When you told me that you'd broken all the rules

And the future felt as empty as your eyes

When I realized how far I was from you.



But they tell me that the truth'll set you free

From the sad confusion of your lies

And it led me to a side of you that I'd refused to see

So I guess it's been a blessing in disguise.

So there's nothing left to keep us holding on

Now to the mystery we used to be before

What we ever shared together there is gone now

And what might have been don't matter anymore.



But they tell me that the truth'll set you free

From the sweet illusion of your lies

And it led me to a side of you that I'd refused to see

So I guess it's been a blessing in disguise.



--- Instrumental ---



The glamour of the gay night life has lured you

To the places where the wine and liquor flow

Where you wait to be anybody's baby

And forget the truest love you'll ever know...
