Color Of The Blues

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Bluebird singin' in the tree seems to sympathize with me
But he ain't singin' like he used to do
The pretty waters in the sea still as cold as you left me
Blue must be the color of the blues

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
