(Lawton Williams - George Jones)
|
Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes
|
These things are the colors 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 singin' in the trees seems to sympathize with me
|
But he ain't singin' like he used to do
|
The pearly waters in the sea are as cold as you left me
|
Blue must be the color of the blues
|
[ piano ]
|
There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red
|
Blue must be the color angels choose
|
A blue suit you proudly 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 sang since you've been gone
|
Blue must be the color of the blues
|
