lyrics

Color Me Blu
© Ted Pearce

Listen real well, got a story to tell
‘bout a guy maybe some of you knew
I’d see him everywhere, every place he was there
When I finally asked him, “who are you?”
He said, “Color me blu”

I’ve been in, I’ve been out, I been up, been down
I’ve been to places where no one has been
I went to heaven before, I was lost, I was found
I been through hell and might go again
I’ve seen good and bad, I’ve been happy and sad
Did things no one thought I could do
Been all over the world, know all kinds of girls,
Been in love now a time or two so color me blu

And then he said, “it doesn’t matter what you have
And it's only vanity that you do so color me blu

I’ve been pauper and king, I’ve tried everything
Now I’m looking for something that’s new
I have made some mistakes and I have some regrets
And you know there were more than a few so color me blu
