Rupert Holmes Nearsighted song lyrics

If you take these glasses from my face

Think that you would find

I'm undeniably, certifiably just a shade of blind

I don't envy those of you with 20/20 vision

Who've seen the world for all its worth

With crystal clear precision

There's more to see than can be

Seen or said than what is heard

The day is brighter, softer, lighter

When it's slightly blurred

Nearsighted, it's another lovely day

Nearsighted, so I stumble on my way

I don't judge a friend or lover

By a first or second look

Nor a book just by its cover

I can't even see the book

Nearsighted, loving life is such a breeze

Nearsighted 'cause I see just what I please

And it pleases me to see you

I won't change my point of view

Nearsighted, nearsighted

Nearsighted, all I need to see is you

Though I'm slightly out of focus

I can see my dreams come true

Clear sighted, I'm nearsighted

Nearsighted, all I need to see is you, you
