Skeeter Davis - Color of the Blues lyrics

rate me

(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.

Bluebirds singing in the trees seem to sympathize with me

They're not singing like they used to do

The pretty waters in the sea feel as cold as you left me

Blue must be the color of the blues.

--- Instrumental ---

There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold or 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 sing since you've been gone

Blue must be the color of the blues.

Blue must be the color of the blues...
