When there was still light, the dark was just night.

lyrics

When I could still see, the world was lovely
When I could still hear, that song was so dear
When I could still breathe, the air was so sweet
When I could still sleep, my dream was so deep


When I could still stand, I was a big man
When I could still speak, my words were all meat
When I could still write, my story took flight
When I could still drive, the stars would fly by

Chorus:
There’s always been a lot of time
But just a blink of it was mine
Two hands a face NOW hard to find
I could see but now I’m blind

When there was still light, the dark was just night
When colors still grew, you knew what I knew
I was so high when I was alive
Your eyes amazed me when I could still see.
