They met upon a blue moon,
And they parted on a cloudy day.
They were so in love and out of school,
But he was goin' so far, far away.
She said,
I'll be true to you
Even though you don't want me to,
And I'll be blue for you
Even though you've asked me not to.
Well, the years drifted by them as we all know they can
He found other women, but she refused other men.
But as fate would have it, they met again.
She was on a downhill slide, he was just slidin' in.
As he looked into her eyes that night, he never realized,
The only real love in his life was passin' by.
When he turned and left her there, his words goodbye,
He heard her callin' out to him and as he walked she cried,
I've been true to you,
Seems like speakin' to me is the least that you could do.
And I've been blue for you,
Even though you've asked me not to.
She'd been drinkin' way too hard one night, she'd been drinkin' way too long
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel, she died there in the dawn.
Kneeling by her grave oh so late and oh so wrong,
He longed to hold her close again crying on and on.
He cried,
I'll be true to you,
After all that I have put you through.
And I'll be blue for you,
Though you never even asked me to. |
