About Blue Turns to Grey

"Blue Turns to Grey" is a song that was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The song first appeared in February 1965 when both Dick and Dee Dee and The Mighty Avengers released versions of it as singles. Another version was released shortly thereafter by Tracey Dey on Amy Records. On Dey's 45 record, the label credits the song to "K. Richard-A. Oldham" -- Oldham being the surname of the Rolling Stones' then-manager/producer Andrew Loog Oldham. It was released by The Rolling Stones on their 1965 album December's Children (And Everybody's) later that year. When Cliff Richard and the Shadows released their version as a single in March 1966 it became a hit in a number of countries. In the UK it reached number 15.

So now that she is gone 
You won't be sad for long 
For maybe just an hour or just a moment 
Of the day 

Then blue turns to grey 
And try as you may 
You just don't feel good 
You don't feel alright 
And you know that you must find her, find her, find her 

You think you'll have a ball 
And you won't care at all 
You'll find another girl or maybe more 
To pass the time away 

Then blue turns to grey 
And try as you may 
You just don't feel good 
You just don't feel alright 
And you know that you must find her, find her, find her 

She's not home when you call 
So you can go to all 
The places where she used to go 
But she has gone away 

Then blue turns to grey 
And try as you may 
You just don't feel good 
You don't feel alright 
And you know that you must find her, find her, find her 

Blue turns to grey (blue turns to grey) 
She has gone away (blue turns to grey) 
I feel so bad (blue turns to grey) 
I wish you'd come on home (blue turns to grey) 
I feel, I feel so down...
