[Intro]

Blue must be the color of the blues

[Verse 1]

Up above me are the skies

Like the twinkle in your eyes

These things are the color of a blue

[Verse 2]

In the mail your letters came

The ink and paper look the same

Blue must be the color of the blues

[Bridge 1]

Bluebirds sitting in the tree

Seems to sympathize with me

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

[Verse 3]

The pretty waters in the sink

Feel as cold as you left me

Yes, blue must be the color of the blues

(Yes, blue must be the color of the blues)

[Verse 4]

There's a rainbow overhead

With more blue than gold and red

Blue must be the color angels choose

[Verse 5]

A blue dress you proudly wore

When you left to return no more

Blue must be the color of the blues

[Bridge 2]

Blue days come and blue days go

How I feel nobody knows

Life is mighty empty without you

[Verse 6]

That I sing since you are gone

Yes blue must be the color of the blu
