Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes – Gladly Go Blind lyrics

Gladly Go Blind
(F. Miller/J. Barry)

I was walking down the avenue
When I realized that I was only thinking of you
Yes, you're always on my mind
But you're the one I never find

And I would gladly go blind
I would gladly go blind
I would gladly go blind
If I could see you one more time

And I was looking through a magazine
When I found myself comparing you to every beauty queen
You made them all look bad
I never knew the love I had

I would gladly go blind
Yes, I would gladly go blind
Oh, I would gladly go blind
If I could see you one more time

Told me you were leaving
If things didn't change
Told me you were leaving
I know you told me

I was crying in my sleep last night
The tears were on my pillow
In the morning light
I don't think I can stand the pain
Come on, let me hold you once again

And I would gladly go blind
I would gladly go blind
I would gladly go blind
If I could see you baby, yea, yea, yea

Gladly go blind (yes I would now, baby)
Gladly go blind (take my side, babe)
Gladly go blind
If I could see you just one more time

I just want to smell that sweet perfume
Touch your hair, now, baby
Just one more time
