Color Of The Blues

This is a great ol' country tune, originally by George Jones (on the Crazy Heart soundtrack) ... covered here by my favorite female country singer, Patty Loveless.

Patty Loveless ~ Color Of The Blues

Up above me are the skies
Like a twinkle in your eyes
These things are the color of the blues
In the mail your letter came
Ink and paper looked the same
Blue must be the color of the blues

Blue birds singing in the trees
Seems to sympathize with me
For he's not singing like he use to do
The pretty water in the sea
Still as cold as when you left me
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues

There's a rainbow over head
With more blue than gold and 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 pretty empty without you
There's a blue note in each song
That I sing since you been gone
Blue must be the color of the blues
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues
