Misty Blue
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Looks like I'd get you off my mind
Oh, I can't for just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue.
Just the mention of your name
Turns the flicker to a flame
I think of things we used to do
Then my whole world turns misty blue.
I should forget you
Heaven knows I've tried
But when I'd say I'm glad we're through
My heart knows I've lied.
Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Looks like I'd get you off my mind
Oh, I can't for just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue...
