A Friend Of Mine Is Going Blind Lyrics

A friend of mine is going blind

But through the dimness

He sees so much better than me

And how he cherishes each new thing that he sees

They are locked in his head he will save them for when

He's in darkness again

He can't read books

And he can't paint pretty pictures

But he understands so much clearer than I

For he knows that all he's missing with his eyes

Is more vivid in the mind of the man who's going blind

And that's why he doesn't mind.

Won't you sing Tommy Davidson of

Things that you have seen

Sing of winter's bite and summer nights

And places you have been

Of dew drops and forget-me-nots and

Silver silky sheen

Lain across the morning meadow on the hillside

And this friend of mine, he plays guitar

And he sings so much better than I

He can sing you any pictures in your mind

He will sketch them out in rhyme draw the details in the lines

And he'll color it in time

And oh how he loves his guitar

And it loves him

And they play much sweeter than I

As if to say that come the day that he can't see

He will have at his command so much beauty in his hands

That the loss won't come so hard

Won't you sing Tommy Davidson of

Things that you have done

Sing of silver seagulls sailing into evening's golden sun

Sing of city streets and villages and people on the run

Tell the people how you know it

Tommy Davidson
