Song sung blue, every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But, when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again, sing them out again.
Song sung blue, weeping like a willow
Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it start to feeling good
You got no choice.
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again.
Song sung blue, everybody knows one
Song sung blue, every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But, when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again, sing them out again.
Song sung blue, everybody knows one
Song sung blue, every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But, when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again, sing them out again...
