Color Of The Blues
recorded by George Jones
written by Lawton Williams and George Jones
C
Up above me are the skies
F C
Like the twinkle in your eyes
G7
There things are the color of the blues
C
In the mail your letter came
F C
The ink and paper looked the same
G7 C
Blue must be the color of the blues
F
Blue birds singing in the trees
C
Seems to sympathize with me
G7
For he's not singing like he use to do
C
The pretty water in the sea
F C
Still as cold as you left me
G7 C
Yes blue must be the color of the blues
There's a rainbow over head
F C
With more blue than gold and red
G7
Blue must be the color angels choose
C
And the blue dress you proudly wore
F C
When you left to return no more
G7 C
Blue must be the color of the blues
F
Blue days come and blue days go
C
How I feel nobody knows
G7
Life is pretty empty without you
C
There's a blue note in each song
F C
That I sing since you are gone
G7 C
Yes blue must be the color of the blues
