THE MISHEARD:
"I try to work away and I fumble; tho I try to hide it, it's clear; I wear goggles when you are not near"
| Real Lyric | "I try to walk away and I stumble; tho I try to hide it, it's clear; my world crumbles when you are not near" |

The story:
One of the few things I am proud of is my ability to correctly hear lyrics. I am forever correcting my friends misheard takes on songs. Well one day, my elitist attitude bit me right in the behind. My fellow airmen and I had just taken a long car trip, and I sang my misheard lyric. Everybody stopped, turned and looked at me. Peals of laughter ensued, and I explained why it >had< to be goggles; they were like rose colored glasses, but they helped her see the world without pain. That did it. I had never seen 4 adults cry from laughter at once. Years have passed. We've changed careers, duty stations and no one has forgotten my blunder. My friend sent me a pair of swimming goggles for my birthday.
