[INTRO — quiet room, glasses case closing] Funny how the smallest things Can change the way you see everything. [VERSE 1] Two years looking through yesterday’s lenses, Scratches collecting like unpaid expenses. Walked through the door with the world looking rough, Then somebody hit me with one little puff. Could’ve spoiled the visit, could’ve darkened the view, But I told the doctor what kindness would do: “Give folks a warning—let ’em know what comes through.” I’d rather leave room for correction Than leave a bad review. [PRE-CHORUS] Marlene had patience, the doctor had time, And care becomes visible when the details align. [CHORUS] Amazing how one little puff of air Can change a review when nobody takes care. One clear pair of lenses can change your view, One honest conversation can change what people do. Now the glass is transparent, And the future might be too— Amazing how one little puff of air Can change a review. [VERSE 2] We’ve been singing through the illness, Counting everything we lost, Learning every little movement, Measuring the cost. But recovery changed the rhythm; Hear that confidence arrive. New glasses on my face now— I can see my way through life. Dentures coming next, Lord, I’ll be talking crisp and clean, Eating what I want again And smiling in between. [PRE-CHORUS] First I’ll see, then I’ll chew, Then who knows what I might do? [CHORUS] Amazing how one little puff of air Can change a review when nobody takes care. One clear pair of lenses can change your view, One fitted set of dentures might change your dinner too. Now the glass is transparent, And I’m coming into view— Amazing how one little puff of air Can change a review. [BRIDGE — half-time, playful spoken cadence] I might see better. I might eat right. I might talk so smooth I get a date Friday night. I might comb my hair, Put the good shirt on— I might get so busy You look up and I’m gone. Don’t worry, buddy, I won’t abandon you— But if these teeth fit right, I’ve got living left to do. [INSTRUMENTAL TURNAROUND — warm guitar and Hammond organ] [FINAL CHORUS] Amazing how one little puff of air Can change a review and uncover what’s there. One clear pair of lenses can change your view, One season of healing can change what you do. No more feeling sorry, We’ve got better things to prove— The body’s still recovering, But the spirit’s on the move. Now the glass is transparent, And the road is breaking through— Amazing how one little puff of air Can change a review. [OUTRO — conversational, smiling] First the glasses. Then the dentures. Then maybe that date. Funny how recovery Can make a man run late.
