Bluer Than Blue
Michael Johnson · Classic Masters [2002]
After you go, I'll have a lot more time for sleepin'
And when you're gone
Looks like things are gonna get a 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 light 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 long if I feel like it
And when you're gone
I can run through the house screamin'
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 light this empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be bluer than blue
I don't have to miss no TV shows
I can start my whole life over
Change the numbers on the telephone
But the nights will sure be colder, and I'm
Bluer than blue, sadder than sad
You're the only light this empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be bluer than blue, bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
