"Color Of The Blues" lyrics

"Color Of The Blues"
(originally by George Jones)

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 sitting in the tree
Seems to sympathize with me
He's not singing like he used to do
The pretty waters in the sea
Feel as cold as you left me
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
The blue dress you proudly 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 you are gone
Blue must be the color of the blues
