Blue

Deep down I know he blames me for my momma's death At first time that I breathed, she took her dying breath I took the love of his life, as she gave a son to him He said goodbye to his young wife, then he took me in I grew up with only photos he'd rarely let me see I could tell the pain in him still grows, he couldn't hide it easily But he tried his best to share a home of painful love For he knew that she was there, watching from above He called me blue, sometimes I feel like crazy when I think what he's been trough Blue, mmmmmm At age fourteen I asked him about my long lost mother In a voice soft and tremblin', he pulled me a little closer He said, you had no mother, Blue, I raised you from the start But one day I'll let her love flow to you, from my dying heart Time has passed but nothing's changed, he just rocks and stares Thirty years and it's still the same, her absence shows his wear If I could turn back the hands of time, I'd give him back his wife A gift that would make his soul shine, that's what I want out of my life He called me blue, sometimes I feel like crazy when I think what we've been trough Blue, mmmmmm Though it hurts me why he feels this way, he tries to show his love Lines on his face and hair of gray, his memories are a killing drug But he don't share he keeps them hidden, he says, don't worry Blue If you can let me be forgiven, for what I blamed on you Early one spring morn I woke, I saw him in his chair I knew the pain had finally broke, in his hands was her picture there I held his hands and said to him, Paw, this is Blue All is forgiven, tell momma I love her too
