                           A Sadder Shade Of Blue -copyright 2008 Jim Durall 


V1


I don't think I would feel so bad, I don't think I would look so sad


If only you had left a note, on an old scratch pad


All you said was it's been fun, no reason why the end had come


There's nothin' left for me to do, but sing an old sad song


Chorus


You walked away and left me singin', singin' in the shade


Yes, you left me singin', singin' in a sadder shade of blue


Oh you left me singin', singin' in a sadder shade of blue


V2


It felt so right at the very start, it seemed as if we would never part


I never thought I'd be singin' songs with a heavy heart


If only we had turned around, back tracked to what went wrong


But all we did was steal a scene from an old sad song


Repeat Chorus


Solo


V3


I don't know when, but one of these nights, I'll be ok, I'm gonna feel all right


But take it from me I'm gonna sing a sad song tonight


A tree in winter with it's leaves all gone, just stands around waitin' for spring to come along


Likewise, I'll pass my time with an old sad song


Repeat Chorus/out
