lyrics

TURNIN' BLUE

Lord knows, that my way of thinkin'
Is only done in black and white.
Sometimes, I see red from drinkin',
And that ain't a pretty sight.
Friends say I never turn yellow
By runnin' away from a fight.
That's why it's hard to understand it,
What's happened to me tonight.
I'm turnin' blue, turnin' blue,
Turnin' blue, turnin' blue,
Missin' you.

Each day, I look in the mirror
And wish I were still in the pink.
At night, when the silver moon's nearer,
I pour me some gold to drink.
The times I get green with envy,
Come and go quick as a wink.
That's why, while all my hope is fadin',
It's hard to say, but I think
I'm turnin' blue, turnin' blue,
Turnin' blue, turnin' blue,
Missin' you.

And when it's time,
I will pull down my shades of gray.
Then hold my breath for you
Another lonely day, lonely day.

(Instrumental Break)

And when it's time,
I will pull down my shades of gray.
Then hold my breath for you
Another lonely day, lonely day.

Turnin' blue, turning blue,
Turnin' blue, turnin' blue,
I'm turnin' blue, turnin' blue,
Without you.
