My female co-writer got the idea for the song from wearing a light shade of blue lipstick for a gig.

Lyrics
VERSE
That look in your eyes is so unreal
You tell me "don't worry," but that's how I feel
I'm not so sure what I'm seein' in you
Am I feelin' a light shade of blue?
CHORUS
I'm feelin' a light shade of blue
It could be a color brand new
You need to decide what you need to do
'Cause I'm feelin' a light shade of blue
VERSE
You don't come around like you did before
I don't hear you knockin' on my back door
Is there somethin' tellin' me we are through?
I'm feelin' a light shade of blue
Repeat CHORUS
RIDE
VERSE
If there's a girl in your life that you love
Let it be me you're thinkin' of
But if it's not me, let's let it be
I'm feelin' a light shade of blue
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
Blue has lots of shades; this one is light
But it could be pretty dark by later tonight
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
Yeah, I'm feelin' a light shade of blue
