A Shade of Blue

A lifetime waiting

For the light to shine

Suddenly you were here

Like an angel appeared

And the world that I knew

Changed into a wonderland

Then you called out my name

Looked around and I found you were gone

Like the rays of the sun

Disappeared into

Never ending

Nights

Where everything real

Has turned to stone

And the songbird has flown (You're gone)

Now I know a rose can change a shade of blue

Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

A shade of blue

My body's hurtin'

Cryin' and yearnin'

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm losing my mind

And I think about you

Knowing all only you could understand

Here alone in my room

I can feel all the walls closin' in

Feelin' trapped in a shell

Wishin' that I could

Spin the wheels

Of change

'Cause everything real

Has turned to stone

And the songbird has flown (You're gone)

Now I know a rose can change a shade of blue

Ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

A shade of blue

Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

A shade of blue

Oh, oh-oh-oh, everything real

Has turned to stone

And the songbird has flown (You're gone)

Now I know a rose can change

'Cause everything real

Has turned to stone

And the songbird has flown (You're gone)

Now I know a rose can change a shade of blue, yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

A shade of blue

Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

A shade of blue (Sometimes I feel, like I'm losin' my mind)

Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

A shade of blue

I can feel all the walls closin' in
