Up above me are the skies
  Like the twinkle in your eyes
  Blue must be the colour of the blues
  In the mail, the letters came
  But you can't pay for love the same
  Blue must be the colour of the blues
  The bluebird singin' in the trees
  Seems to sympathize with me
  'Cause he's not singin' like he used to do
  Pretty waters in the sea
  Feel as cold as you left me
  Blue must be the colour of the blues
  
  Blue days come and blue days go
  The way I feel, nobody knows
  Life is finally empty without you
  There's a blue note in each song
  That I sing since you've been gone
  Blue must be the colour of the blues
