I Was Blind

B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. King

I was blind and could not see

That you were gettin' away from me

But now I know that you are gone



I live by the night

And slumbers through the day

Because life don't seem worth livin' anyway



If I only see

Life won't be so miserable to me

Only one I love wanna leave me in misery



Oh, now I haven't been true

But this one I want to be my wife

So baby please, please think of you and me



If I could only see

Life wouldn't be so miserable to me

Why would the one I love want to leave me in misery?



Oh, haven't been true all of my life

Ah, but this one I want, want her to be my wife

So baby please, baby please think of, of you and me
