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 singing in the trees seems to sympathize with me But he's not singing like he used to do The pretty 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 Yes, 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 sing since you are gone Yes, blue must be the color of the blues
