Lyrics
Blue Ain?t the Right Word
Marghi Allen
(c) 1979
Blue ain?t the right word
To describe my feelings
Somehow it just don?t convey
All of the sadness
My poor heart has been concealing
Since you left me yesterday
I know that I must have treated you cruel
Otherwise why did you go
And I know its to late to say I was the one who was a fool
Cause you ain?t listening to me anymore
The sound of your voice
Whispering to me
Crept into my head late last night
And the way that you have
Of looking right through me
Gonna haunt me for the rest of my life
Cause no one ever gave me their love so sweetly
And it may never happen again
I finally realize that I love you completely
Tell me why does this have to be the end
The sound of your voice
Whispering to me
Tormented me all through the night
And the way that you have
Of seeing right through me
Gonna haunt me for the rest of my life
Blue ain?t the right word
To describe my feelings
Somehow it just doesn?t say
How much I love you
And how much I need you
To come back to stay
Oh baby won?t you please, please
Come back to stay
Won?t you please come back to stay.
