City Of Rivers - Sadder Pale Of Hue lyrics

I loved and I lost Never counted the cost Until I saw you You were goin around With your ex from downtown And her eyes were pale blue And you both looked so real It was hard to conceal My eyes which were so pale too But what you both didn't know And I tried not to show Eyes of a sadder pale of hue. You saw me and smiled Wish I'd had my hair styled In my drop dead way But you know how it is And we've all been through this It's a bad hair day And as you asked If I'm fine I couldn't waste no more time On a man that I'd loved and lost So I said my goodbye And a tear in my eye Told me I could be now counting the cost Chorus Loved and I lost Never counted the cost Until today when I saw you So don't look close inside It's so hard to hide Eyes of a sadder pale of hue There was no more to say And as I went on my way I breathed out a sigh Who would ever expect He'd revisit his ex But that's the way the land lies And though I'm feelin quite sad I could be edging on glad As I remember and as I recall It's best to have loved and lost And too hell with the cost Than to have never ever loved at all Yeah, it 'best to have loved and lost And too hell with the cost Than to have never ever loved at all.
