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
