Color of the Blues

Up above me are the skies Like the twinkle in your eyes These things are the color of the blues In the mail your letter came The ink and paper looked the same Blue must be the color of the blues Bluebird's sittin? in the tree Seems to sympathize with me For he's not singin? like he used to do The pretty waters in the sea Feel as cold as when you left me Yes, blue must be the color of the blues There's a rainbow overhead With more blue than gold or red Blue must be the color angels choose And the blue look that you wore When you left to return no more Blue must be the color of the blues Blue days come and blue days go How I feel nobody knows Life is mighty empty without you There's a blue note in each song That I sing since you? ve been gone Blue must be the color of the blues Yes, blue must be the color of the blues
