After you go, I can catch up on my reading   And after you go, I'll have a lot more time for sleeping   And when you're gone   Looks like things are gonna get a lot easier   Life will be a breeze, you know   I really should be glad       But I'm bluer than blue, sadder than sad   You're the only light this empty room has ever had   Life without you is gonna be   Bluer than blue       After you go, I'll have a lot more room in my closet   After you go, I'll stay out all night long if I feel like it   And when you're gone   I can run through the house screaming   And no one will ever hear me   I really should be glad       But I'm bluer than blue, sadder than sad   You're the only light this empty room has ever had   Life without you is gonna be   Bluer than blue       I don't have to miss no TV shows   I can start my whole life over   Change the numbers on my telephone   But the nights will sure be colder       Cause I'm bluer than blue, sadder than sad   You're the only light this empty room has ever had   Life without you is gonna be   Bluer than blue       Bluer than blue   Bluer than blue
