I don't believe that Love is Blind

I sailed upon the oceans for a million years

I survived a thousand lifetimes , shed so many tears

I have looked into the eyes of a hundred faces past

I’ve connected with the stars that heaven had to cast

Underneath the water where the merfolk do belong

Way up in the sky where the angels sing their songs

I’ve searched this world with wonder a hopefulness inside

But cannot seem to find the meaning of the tide

I don’t believe that love is blind

It sees the flaws we leave behind

Searching still and now grown old

The days grow short the nights now cold

I can not pass a judgment on the crimes you did to me

You chained me to a path , never able to be free

I never thought I’d love someone as deeply or as true

You gave my life a purpose, the time I spent with you

So searching each and every road that climbs twist or bends

To see if this is where my bitter sweet journey ends

You’ll always be my happy place a special thought and space

Every dark memory with the image of your face

I don’t believe that love is blind

It sees the flaws we leave behind

Searching still and now grown old

The days grow short the nights now cold

I promised myself that I wouldn’t give up

No matter how heavy or hard my luck

No distance or time will ever erase

Warm sunshine smiles and depth of grace

Holding on tight to memories past

Kept forever in my heart to last

A stubborn fire still glows in my soul

Hot to the touch like red hot coal

Nothing is left now but the dust in my hands,

And the long, heavy toils from these desolate lands.
