Lyrics I Used To Be Color Blind - Oscar Peterson

I Used To Be Color Blind

Strange how a dreary world
Can suddenly change
To a world as bright
As the evening star
Queer, what a difference
When your vision is clear
And you see things
As they really are
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 semi-circle
That was always hanging about
Is not a storm cloud, it’s a rainbow
And 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
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
