Lyrics
HOW COME THEY CALL IT THE BLUES
©2003 Carey Moore/David Scheibner
The sky is gray. The future's black.
Your eyes are red cause she won't come back.
And your heart feels like a purple bruise.
So HOW COME THEY CALL IT THE BLUES.
Her chestnut hair has you lost in a dream.
So does her soft skin, whiter than cream.
You just sigh and stare up at a yellow moon.
HOW COME THEY CALL IT THE BLUES.
BRIDGE:
You've gone through every emotion
As you lost the love you thought would never die.
Now you're going through every color.
In the rainbow of goodbye.
Ruby lips and a silver tongue.
Left you feeling green and looking dumb.
You learned in love there's no golden rule.
So HOW COME THEY CALL IT THE BLUES.
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
(REPEAT FIRST VERSE)
