Colour Of The Blues

Lyrics - Credits - Discography - Covers - Bootlegs - Chords

Lyrics Up above me are the skies Like the twinkle in your eye Blue must be the colour of the blues In the mail, the letters came The ink and paper look the same Blue must be the colour of the blues Bluebird singin' in the tree Seems to sympathize with me 'Cause he's not singin' like he used to do Pretty waters in the sea Feel as cold as you left me Blue must be the colour of the blues Blue days come and blue days go The way I feel, nobody knows Life is finally empty without you There's a blue note in each song That I sing since you've been gone Blue must be the colour of the blues There's a blue note in each song That I sing since you've been gone Blue must be the colour of the blues
