Bluer Than Blue
Barry Manilow · Summer of '78
I can catch up on my reading
after you go
I'll have a lot more time for sleeping
and when you're gone
it looks like things are gonna be lot easier
life will be a breeze you know
I really should be glad
but I'm bluer than blue
sadder than sad
you're the only life this empty room has ever had
life without you is gonna be
bluer than blue
after you go
I'll have a lot more room in my closet
after you go
I'll stay out all night if I feel like it
and when you're gone
I can run through the house screaming
and no one will ever hear me
I really should be glad
but I'm bluer than blue
sadder than sad
you're the only life this empty room has ever had
life without you is gonna be
bluer than blue
I don't have to miss no t.v. shows
I can start my whole life over
change the numbers on my telephone
but the nights will sure be colder
and I'm bluer than blue
sadder than sad
you're the only life this empty room has ever had
life without you is gonna be
bluer than blue
bluer than blue
bluer than blue
