[00:02.43]Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes
[00:03.60]These things are the colors of the blues
[00:04.68]In the mail, your letter came the ink and paper looked the same
[00:08.34]Blue must be the color of the blues
[00:10.11]Bluebird's singing in the trees seems to sympathize with me
[01:00.48]But he's not singing like he used to do
[01:08.22]The pretty waters in the sea feel as cold as you left me
[01:16.65]Yes, blue must be the color of the blues
[01:33.51]There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red
[01:43.44]Blue must be the color angels choose
[01:50.07]A blue dress you proudly wore when you left to return no more
[01:58.38]Yes, blue must be the color of the blues
[02:06.75]Blue days come and blue days go, how I feel nobody knows
[02:14.10]Life is mighty empty without you
[02:23.82]There's a blue note in each song that I sing since you are gone
[02:49.17]Yes, blue must be the color of the blues

Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes
These things are the colors 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 singing in the trees seems to sympathize with me
But he's not singing like he used to do
The pretty waters in the sea 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 choose
A blue dress you proudly wore when you left to return no more
Yes, 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 are gone
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues
