A Lighter Shade Of Blue

I guess, it finally dawned on me, you're gone

Well, maybe I can make it on my own

I don't stay up wondering if you'll call

Some nights, I don't dream of you at all

Your memory is still hurting me inside

That's something I'm still learning how to hide

Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two

I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Looking down the line sometimes

I think, I see a change

Then I think again and think of you

Here and there, I've turned a stone

But the mountain hasn't moved

I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

I'm still afraid of turning out the light

And it takes all my strength to face the night

'Cause that's the time, I face the bitter truth

I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Looking down the line sometimes

I think, I see a change

Then I think again, I think of you

Here and there, I've turned a stone

But the mountain hasn't moved

I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Oh, I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
