Brown to Blue

We stood there in the courthouse room so close but far apart

You brought along the lawyer and I brought a broken heart

The judge pronounced the words the way you wanted him to do

You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine

from Brown to Blue

I couldn't help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor

My love, they took away my right to love you anymore

My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you

You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine

from Brown to Blue

The judge forgot to tell me how I'd live my life alone

What I would do without you after loving you so long

He didn't seem to care that I'm still in love with you

You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine

from Brown to Blue

I couldn't help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor

My love, they took away my right to love you anymore

My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you

You changed your name from Brown to Jones

and mine from Brown to Blue
