I was blind and I could not see 
That you were gettin' away from me 
But now I know that you are gone 
I live by the night 
And slumber through the day 
Because life don't seem worth livin' anyway 
If I could only see 
Life would be so miserable to me 
Tell me why my love want leave in misery 
Oh, now I haven't be true 
But this I want to be my wife 
So baby please, please think of you and me 
If I could only see 
Life would be so miserable to me 
Why would the one I love want to leave in misery 
Oh, haven't been true all of my life 
Ah, but this one I want, want her to be my wife 
So baby please, baby please think of you and me
