A Darker Shade of Blue Revised
A darker shade of blue (revised October 22,2020)
I came home from work today,
and saw the note you left
It took me by surprise,
couldn't imagine what it said
You said you needed time and space...
to figure some things out
I think there's prob'ly more to this...
you left me here with my doubts
Bridge
Looks like...I'll keep on living without you
Looks like...there's nothing more to say
Looks like...I'll just stay home without you
Cause with this latest news...
My sadness takes on a deeper hue...
I'm a darker shade of blue
You called me up the other day
and said our daughter's doing fine...
She started her new school today
she'll call when she has time
Chorus
I guess I'm happy for you
yeah...so happy for you
You're trying to find a new life
and I don't know what to do...
but, I think you might come back to me
or, maybe you don't want to...
Now, I'm a darker shade of blue
I'm a darker shade of blue
So much time has passed by
but, I still feel the same
My life ended long ago
the day you walked away
You called me on the phone today
said you've found your one true love
I guess I was just dreaming
cause, I thought I was the one.

Looks like...I'll keep on living without you
Looks like...there's nothing more to say
Looks like...I'll just stay home without you
Cause with this latest news...
My sadness takes on a deeper hue...
I'm a darker shade of blue
Chorus
I'm so happy for you
really...happy for you
You finally found your new life
and I know that it's true
now I know you won't come back to me
Cause, you really don't want to...
now, I'm a darker shade of blue
I'm a darker shade of blue
Now I see you won't come back to me
Cause, you really don't want to...
Now, I'm a darker shade of blue.
I'm a darker shade of blue (repeat two more times)
(fade to zero)
