Colour of the Blues - George Jones

Up above me are the sky

Like the twinkle in your eyes

These things are the color of a blue.

In the mail your letter came

Sayin' you can take the looks the same?

Blue must be the color of the blues.

Bluebirds sitting in the tree

Seems to sypathize with me

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

The pretty waters in the sink

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 chose.

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 each song

That I sing since you’re gone

Yes blue must be the color of the blues…
