Color Of The Blues Lyrics - Sleepless Nights - Patty Loveless

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 sittin in the tree 

Seems to sympathize with me 

For he's not singin like he used to do 

The pretty waters in the sea 

Feel as cold as when you left me 

Yes, blue must be the color of the blues 

There's a rainbow overhead 

With more blue than gold or red 

Blue must be the color angels choose 

And the blue look that you 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 youve been gone 

Blue must be the color of the blues 

Yes, blue must be the color of the blues
