Lyrics

SHADES OF BLUE

STAYED UP ALL NIGHT
I JUST DON'T FEEL RIGHT
WITHOUT YOU
WHAT CAN I DO
EVERYTHING'S IN BLACK AND WHITE
AND SHADES OF BLUE

THE SUN COMES UP
I STARE AT MY COFFEE CUP
THE WHOLE DAY THROUGH
YEARNIN' FOR YOU
I'M AS EMPTY AS THAT CUP
AND TURNIN' SHADES OF BLUE

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
BUT IT DON'T MATTER
ALL I KNOW IS YOU'RE NOT HERE WITH ME
EVERY PASSING MOMENT
MAKES ME SADDER
AND THESE SHADES OF BLUE
ARE ALL I SEE

WHY DON'T YOU CALL
DO YOU EVEN CARE AT ALL
IF YOU DO
SEND ME A CLUE
MEANWHILE I'LL WATCH THE WALLS
TURN SHADES OF BLUE

-SOLO-

-BRIDGE-

STAYED UP ALL NIGHT
I JUST DON'T FEEL RIGHT
WITHOUT YOU
WHAT CAN I DO
EVERYTHING'S IN BLACK AND WHITE
AND SHADES OF BLUE
AZURE MISS YOU, YES I DO
SHADES OF BLUE
OH WHERE DID YOU INDIGO
SHADES OF BLUE
EVERYTHING'S IN BLACK AND WHITE
AND SHADES OF BLUE

WOW! It's great to see someone keeping the old vibe alive and it's good

A really nice, satisfying, Honky-tonk number that will get the place moving and the dance floor filled up. A really tight band with excellent piano and fiddle complimented by solid base, guitar and competent controlled lead vocals. The playful doo-wop backing vocals takes the standard Hank Williams structure into a fun, almost swing direction that makes you want to stop and sing along before you head back to the bar for another beer. A really solid, feel-good tune complete with a wry cackle at the end.
