Color of the Blues

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

Bluebird's sittin? in the tree

Seems to sympathize with me

For he's not singin? like he used to do

The pretty waters in the sea

Feel as cold as when you left me

Yes, blue must be the color of the blues

There's a rainbow overhead

With more blue than gold or red

Blue must be the color angels choose

And the blue look that you 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

Yes, blue must be the color of the blues
