I Used to Be Colour Blind (From "Carefree") - Fred Astaire

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

And you brought the colors out

Believe me it’s really true

'Til 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

Believe me it’s really true

'Til 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
