Blind Man Lyrics

I took a course in Hallelujah
I went to night school for de blues
I took some stuff they said would cool ya...hea ha
But nothing seemed to light my fuse

But that'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...yeah
A Blind Man
Who could change night into day
And if a I can
I'm gonna make you come with me...yeah
Because a here come the sun
And we'll be chasing all the clouds away...yeah yeah...

I've had some lovers like a joyride
Some things are never what they seem
My heaven's turned into a landslide
Thank God I woke up from that dream

I met a Blind Man
Who taught me how to see...yeah
Blind Man
Who could change night into day
And if a I can
I'm gonna make you come with me...yeah
Beacuse a here comes the sun
And we'll be chasing all the clouds the way
The bee's chase honey
And drink all the flowers dry
We'll be saving us a little money
And if that doesn't do it, yeah
I know the reason why

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

I met a Blind Man
Who taught me how to see...yeah
Blind Man
Who could change night into day
And if a I can
I'm gonna make you come with me...ah ah ah ah yeah
Because a here come the sun
Ain't no surprise
Ain't no doubt about it
Gonna open up my eyes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I read a long time ago that this song is about the Steven Tyler's journey into sobriety and Alcoholics Anonymous.

It makes sense if you consider that AA members are completely supported by other alcoholics. Sort of the "blind leading the blind."

I think the song means that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The blind man didn't literally teach him now to see, what the lyrics mean is that you have to look deeper. This blind man taught him that there's more to life than what you physically see. It's about understanding and feeling. You have to open your heart and your mind and let people in, and sometimes that means looking past your own insecurities and shallowness and then you might finally see the proverbial light.

Yeah I agree with GuitarGroupie. Everything is not what it seems. I've learnt this the hard way. But I love Aerosmith and this is one of my favorite songs by them.

Fantastic song.

"I met a Blind Man, who taught me how to see..." Is a very powerful and well thought out lyric. I'm in complete agreement with GuitarGroupie also.

Fantastic song.
