“If God one day struck me blind, your beauty I’d still see.” – Adore, by Prince
In general I listen to music over lyrics, and over time the words seep into my brain. Adore has one of my favorite Prince lines in it, but the rest of the song was mostly a blur to me.
The lyric is brilliant and touching. Her physical beauty is so powerful it has burned into him, imprinted for life. Or beauty is in her words and thoughts and soul, and obvious to anyone, with sight or not. Probably both.
Either way, it was nice of Prince to write a song about my wife.
