Am I blue
Yes I'm blue
It started the day I lost you
Nobody ever loved somebody like I do
Am I blue
Am I blue

Just this mornin'
over coffee
I sat there cryin'
cause you're gone long gone
I didn't know just how much
I was gonna miss you
till I spent my first night alone
Am I blue
Yes I'm blue
How could I have been such a fool
Now look at all the misery I'm going through
Am I blue
Am I blue
Tried to call and say I'm sorry
I couldn't get you on the line
You'll never know just how much
I'm wishin' you would show up
and say you've changed your mind

Am I blue
Yes I'm blue
It started the day I lost you
Nobody ever loved somebody like I do
Am I blue
Am I blue
