Lyrics
THESE BLUES IN THE NIGHT
verse:
Every night I try but I can't sleep
I count my tears instead of sheep
Then I hear your voice in the dark I swear
That's when I reach out for you but you're not there, so tell me...
chorus:
How do I change the color of these blues in the night
How do I paint over mem'ries of you in my life
How do I hide the rain and put the stars back in my sky
And how do I change the color of these blues in the night
Oh these blues in the night
verse:
Was it somethin' I did or somethin' I said
Was it somebody new who got into your head
Cause all these years I've been faithful and true
And that's why even now I still dream of you, so darlin' tell me...
chorus:
How do I change the color of these blues in the night
How do I paint over mem'ries of you in my life
How do I hide the rain and put the stars back in my sky
And how do I change the color of these blues in the night
bridge:
I hear your voice in the dark I swear
That's when I reach - that's when I reach out for you but baby you're not there
Baby you're not there!
chorus:
So how do I change the color of these blues in the night
And how do I paint over mem'ries of you in my life
And how do I hide the rain and put the stars back in my sky
And how do I change the color of these blues in the night
