The funeral home was empty but for me
|
And the flowers smelled as sweet as they could be
|
The candle light threw shadows on the floor
|
As I kneeled down to caress her cheek once more
|
Oh Lord she looks pretty in blue
|
Just as soft as the early morning dew
|
And every dream I have on earth is sleepin' too
|
Oh Lord she looks pretty in blue
|
|
My lonely heart was countin' in my ears
|
The silence it was all that I could hear
|
My sleepin' beauty lay with folded hands
|
So the world could see her golden weddin' band
|
Oh Lord she looks pretty in blue...
|
|
I have spent the night in silence by her side
|
And relived each happy moment of our lives
|
Then the silence was broken with the dawn
|
God give me some ring to face my life alone
|
Oh Lord she looks pretty in blue...
