Blue on blue, heartache on heartache Blue on blue now that we are through Blue on blue, heartache on heartache And I find I can't get over losing you I walk along the street we used to walk Two by two, lovers pass And as they're passing by, I could die 'Cause you're not here with me Now the trees are bare There's sadness in the air And I'm as blue as I can be Blue on blue, heartache on heartache Blue on blue now that we are through Blue on blue, heartache on heartache And I find I can't get over losing you Night after lonely night, we meet in dreams As I run to your side You wait with open arms, open arms That now are closed to me Through a veil of tears Your vision disappears And I'm as blue as I can be Blue on blue, heartache on heartache Blue on blue now that we are through Blue on blue, heartache on heartache And I find I can't get over losing you Blue on blue, heartache on heartache Blue on blue now that we are through Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
