IF MY EYES WERE BLIND David Olney Thanks to Neil S. ! Em C G If My Eyes Were Blind the darkest night would never hold a mystery Em C G If My Eyes Were Blind, I'd hold your features fast within my memory D Em In my mind, If My Eyes Were Blind Should my voice grow weak, only you could hear the voice inside me Should my voice grow weak, never with the word would I deny thee I would not speak, should my voice grow weak Should my mind grow dim and innocent as on the day God made me Should my mind grow dim, I'd love you like a child or a baby I'd be gentle as a lamb, should my mind grow dim Bridge When my youth is gone, in my eyes you shall remain a beauty When my youth is gone, in my ears I'll hear you singing sweetly The sweetest song, when my youth is gone When my body dies, darlin' I could never leave you lonely My spirit shall arise to comfort and to care for you only To sympathize, when my body dies When my youth is gone Should my mind grow dim Should my voice grow weak If My Eyes Were Blind
