Etta James

I'd Rather Go Blind

Something told me it was over
when I saw you and him talking all night.
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry boy',
when I saw you and him walking.
I would rather, I would rather go blind, child,
than to see you walk away, walk away from me.
Cuz you see I love you so much that
I don't want to see you leave me baby, nonono, most of all,
I just don't want to be free.

I was just, I was just sitting here thinging
of your kiss and your warm embrace, baby,
when the reflection in the glass that I been holding to my lips,
honey,
revealed the tears I had on my face.
So let me tell you,
I would rather, I would rather lose my eyes, yeah,
than to see you walk away from me.
Baby, baby, baby don't ever leave me alone.
