Blinded

Steve Wariner · Faith In You [Capitol] [2000]

I didn't mean to stumble

And I didn't mean to fall

But it's hard to keep your balance

When your running into walls

But there's an explanation

Baby, for the situation I'm in

Chorus:

I am blinded by the light of your love

I don't know where I'm going or which way is up

I've never been lost and liked it so much

I am blinded by the light of your love

It's hard to see a miracle

When standing up too close

It's difficult to focus when

It's right beneath your nose

Till love makes its correction

And determines the direction for me

Chorus:

I am blinded by the light of your love

I don't know where I'm going or which way is up

I've never been lost and liked it so much

I am blinded by the light of your love

Instrumental

I didn't mean to stumble

And I didn't mean to fall

But it's hard to keep your balance

When your running into walls

But there's an explanation

Baby, for the situation I'm in

Chorus:

I am blinded by the light of your love

I don't know where I'm going or which way is up

I've never been lost and liked it so much

I am blinded by the light of your love

Chorus:

I am blinded by the light of your love

I don't know where I'm going or which way is up

I've never been lost and liked it so much

I am blinded by the light of your love...
