C Up above me are the skies
FC Like the twinkle in your eyes
FCG7 These things are the color of the blues
C In the mail your letter came
FC The ink and paper looked the same
FG7C Blue must be the color of the blues
F Blue birds singing in the trees
C Seems to sympathize with me
G7 For he's not singing like he used to do
C The pretty waters in the sea
FC Feel as cold as you left me
FG7C Yes blue must be the color of the blues
FC With more blue than gold and red
FCG7 Blue must be the color angels choose
C A blue dress you proudly wore
FC When you left to return no more
FG7C Blue must be the color of the blues
F Blue days come and blue days go
C How I feel nobody knows
G7 Life is mighty empty without you
C There's a blue note in each song
FC That I sing since you are gone
FG7C
