I remember the cool summer nights
The way you called my name
How was I, how was I to know someday you'd be gone
And all the dreams we lived for
They never died, they're still inside my soul
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fooling round by the cherry tree
Making love down by the pier
Oh, it makes no sense at all
Girl, it don't, it don't seem fair
I never thought we'd ever be apart
I never thought I'd ever see
The lonely, lonely shade, shade of blue
I'm missing you, baby
I'll never find another with your smile
Why'd I have to go and lose you
Lonely, lonely shade, shade of blue
Late at night I still hold your pillow
The way I held you
Till this day, I close my eyes
I still hear your smile
We use to dream of life as never-ending
We use to dream we'd always be as one
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sometimes I'd cry to heaven above:
"Why'd you have to take my baby?"
'Cause as she flies with all the angels
I'm here alone to bathe in my tears of pain
I never thought we'd ever be apart
I never thought I'd ever see
The lonely, lonely shade, shade of blue
Goodbye, baby
I'll never find another like you, girl
So, why'd I have to go and lose you
Lonely, lonely shade, shade of blue
It's k**ing me
It's been years and seven days
And it just don't seem to get better
Someday I know we'll be as one
Someday I know we'll be together
I never thought we'd ever be apart
I never thought I'd ever see
The lonely, lonely shade, shade of blue, oh-oh
I'll never find another like you, girl
So, why'd I have to go and lose you
Lonely, lonely shade, shade of blue, yeah
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
The lonely, lonely shade, shade of blue
You know it's k**ing me, yeah
No, no, no, no, no, no
See the lonely, lonely, shade, shade of blue
