I Used to Be Color Blind

I Used to Be Color Blind - Ella Fitzgerald

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

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

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

I used to be color blind
