Blessings In Disguise Lyrics & Chords By Michael Martin Murphey

It was a Blessing in Disguise.
The truth is always a surprise.
It's good to lose the things you love,
Just to see what it's like.
It only serves to reconfirm --
You can't have love on your own terms.
Thank you for opening my eyes.
It was a Blessing in Disguise.

It was a Blessing in Disguise,
A foolish move can make you wise.
A quick thief in the night
Will teach you not to moralize.
Tornadoes, ghosts and the Lord of Dreams --
Ah, they're never what they seem.
Don't try to compromise
With your Blessing in Disguise.

Thank you sweet Blessing in Disguise,
Brother eclipse, and sister night.
A quick change brings back 'round the sun
So I can swim into the sky.
Sweet Jesus, thank you for bright days.
Now that the shadow's gone away,
I can feel that warm sunrise.
Goodbye, sweet Blessing in Disguise.
