lyrics

Blue Blue Blue by Kathy Kostelec © November 2012

Today the sky, it’s colored blue blue blue
It don’t match my heart that’s turned so blue blue blue
Babe you know it’s all because of you you you
Babe you know it’s all because of you.

Like a fox in the meadow, you’ve been stalking your prey
Searching for a tender morsel who wants to play your hiding game
Slipping in and out of shadows, you thought you got away
But a little birdy done told me about your hiding place
A little birdy done told me about your hiding place

Today the sky, it’s colored blue blue blue
It don’t match my heart that’s turned so blue blue blue
Babe you know it’s all because of you you you
Babe you know it’s all because of you.

Well I learned my lesson, made my mistakes
Had my fill of those sly ones, thought I could spot em a mile away
Like a wise old owl I, I thought I knew my way
But this old owl don’t see so good in the light of day
This old owl don’t see so good in the light of day.

Today the sky, it’s colored blue blue blue
It don’t match my heart that’s turned so blue blue blue
Babe you know it’s all because of you you you
Babe you know it’s all because of you.

You said you were faithful as a good coon hound
A heart true as the blue sky, you swore we were alter bound
But your blue’s now a new shade, cause there ain’t no doubt
You ain’t nothing but a sly ol fox slipping around
You ain’t nothing but a sly ol fox slipping around.

Today the sky, it’s colored blue blue blue
It don’t match my heart that’s turned so blue blue blue
Babe you know it’s all because of you you you
Babe you know it’s all because of you.
Babe you know it's all because of you.
