Up above me are the skies    Like the twinkle in your eyes    Blue must be the colour of the blues    In the mail, the letters came    But you can't pay for love the same    Blue must be the colour of the blues    The bluebird singin' in the trees    Seems to sympathize with me    'Cause he's not singin' like he used to do    Pretty waters in the sea    Feel as cold as you left me    Blue must be the colour of the blues       Blue days come and blue days go    The way I feel, nobody knows    Life is finally empty without you    There's a blue note in each song    That I sing since you've been gone    Blue must be the colour of the blues
