Give me my glasses
Baby give me my glasses because I can't see
I'm blinded by the light that's surrounding you
It's radiant, it's bright, it's right where I wanna be
Caught up in a love better than I ever knew
You give me strength to take on the world
No, nothing can stand in my way
Not when I know I'm your man and you are my girl
I stand strong now, ready and willing to conquer each day
Because I know when the sun goes down and it gets dark
I'm gonna be right there at home basking in your light
Dancing with you, to the song in each other's heart
Day after day, year after year, we'll still be here, dancing every night
When the kids are grown and we're old and gray
You won't have to worry about how I feel
But if you ever do, just ask me and this is what I'll say
Baby give me my glasses because I can't see
I'm blinded by the light that's surrounding you
It's radiant, it's bright, it's right where I wanna be
Caught up in a love better than I ever knew
We've spent our lives living in love in this old house
We've seen and done just about everything we could do
We've struggled, we've fought, but that's what love is all about
Living for the moments of peace after all we've been through
I'm still here and I'm still standing strong
Though I know my time is drawing near
I still can't believe that you've loved me for so long
I really couldn't have made it without you here
Baby give me my glasses because I can't see
I'm blinded by the light that's surrounding you
It's radiant, it's bright, it's right where I wanna be
Caught up in a love better than I ever knew
