I took a course in hallelujah 
I went to night school for the blues 
I took some stuff they said would cool ya 
But nothing seemed to light my fuse 

But it's all in the past 
Like a check that's in the mail 
She was a tall whiskey glass 
I was an old hound dog that just loved to chase his tail 

Until I met a blind man 
Who taught me how to see 
A blind man 
Who could change night into the day 
And if-a I can 
I'm gonna make you come with me 
Because here comes the sun and we'll be chasing all the clouds away 

I've had some lovers like a joy ride 
Some things are never what they seem 
My heaven's turned into a landslide 
I thank God I woke up from the dream 

I met a blind man 
Who taught me how to see 
A blind man 
Who could change night into the day 
And if-a I can 
I'm gonna make you come with me 
Because here comes the sun and we'll be chasing all the clouds the way bees chase honey 
And drink all the flowers dry 
We'll be saving us a little money 
And if that don't do it, yeah, I know the reason why 

Don't make no sense lightin' candles 
There's too much moonlight in our eyes 

I met a blind man 
Who taught me how to see 
A blind man 
Who could change night into the day 
And if-a I can 
I'm gonna make you come with me 
Because here comes the sun 
Ain't no surprise 
Ain't no doubt about it 
Gonna open up your eyes
