True love makes you blind

When I thought it all was over
Am G F
I thought it all was over
[Chorus]

The night falls slow

Says "it's time to go

And forget about what we cannot change"

And time will tell

If I lose you as well, my darling one

But true love makes you blind
Am G F
True love makes you blind

Oh, you've made me blind, hey
