Red Sovine - Color Of The Blues lyrics

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 singing in the trees seems to sympathize with me But he ain't singing like he used to do The pearly waters in the sea feel as cold as you left me Yes blue must be the color of the blues There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red Blue must be the color angels choose A blue dress 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 my song that I sing since you are gone Yes blue must be the color of the blues
