SOFTER SHADE OF BLUE
For a while I stopped living my life
When you left, so did my appetite
All I wanted to do
was think about you
and feel the pain deep inside

My heart had become so blue
The darkest and deepest hue
The sorrow controlled me
No one could console me
And away from the world I withdrew

Now that some time has gone by
I find it's still easy to cry
Buy my will to go on
is beginning to dawn
and the colors are filling the sky

I'm starting the day anew
Finally getting over you
My heart is now mending
My life is not ending
I'm a softer shade of blue
