Loretta Lynn - Color Of The Blues lyrics

Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes These things are the colors 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 singin' in the trees seems to sympathize with me But he ain't singin' like he used to do The pearly waters in the sea are as cold as you left me Blue must be the color of the blues [ piano ] There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red Blue must be the color angels choose A blue suit you proudly 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 sang since you've been gone Blue must be the color of the blues
