I Used To Be Color-Blind

Tonny Bennett

Irving Berlin



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

Till 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
