You only find one true love in your life You try to make him happy and be a good wife But girl, let me tell you, you'd better think twice Cause blues will surround you all of your life Blue was the color of our skies Blue, like the tears that I cried Blue, like the color of his eyes Blue says, my darling, say goodbye My mama always told me, you'll cry yourself to sleep If you give that friendly man your precious heart to keep You'll always be lonely, you'll always be blue Cause you can't make a friendly man be true to you Blue was the color of our skies Blue, like the tears that I cried Blue, like the color of his eyes Blue says, my darling, say goodbye Blue was the color of our skies Blue, like the tears that I cried Blue, like the color of his eyes Blue says, my darling, say goodbye *
