When I get old and find the time
I’ll paint a picture about my life
I’ll paint it blue for you, I’ll paint it blue for you.
You gave me love, a love so strong
I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong
Now I want to show, I feel so low, I’m blue for you.

When I was younger I tried so hard
To find a good woman and give her my love
I found a woman sweet as can be, I found a woman for me
I didn’t know I had the world
I was still looking for ways to your love
Now that I know, I feel so low, I’m blue for you

Cheatin’ and lyin’, I played around
Livin’ and dyin’, you stood your ground.
Cheatin’ and lyin’, you knew so well
There’s no good denying, you know me too well

When I’m alone I realise
Your eyes were smilin’ but deep inside
I saw the blue in you, everything blue for you.
You gave me love, a love so strong
I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong
Now I want to show, I feel so low, I’m blue for you.
Feel so low, I’m blue for you.
I feel so low I’m blue for you.
