I saw a blind man today
Nobody could see him
He stood alone in the crowd and swayed
No one had a reason to say

How is it you come to be here
Well, it's such a lovely afternoon
I'd really like to stop and cheer you
But there's too little time
And so much to do

I saw a man shouting right and wrong
Nobody could hear him
He spoke right out and he stood alone
Nobody came near him to say

How is it you come to be here
Well, it's such a lovely afternoon
I'd really like to stop and cheer you
But there's too little time
Maybe some other day

Wouldn't it be nice
If love could only open our eyes
Wouldn't it be nice
If love could open our eyes

Well, I read the news this morning
Telling how the blind man died
Then standing at the counter
Well, I paid for my coffee and cried

I took a long walk today
Will nobody miss him
I stood alone in the crowd and prayed
A man came up to listen, he said

How is it you come to be here
Well, it's such a lovely afternoon
I'd really like to stop and cheer you
I've a moment to spare
And I'm going your way
(Looks like I'm going your way)

Wouldn't it be nice
If love could open our eyes
Wouldn't it be nice
If love could only open our eyes...
