Sky Blue

Everything inside of here is gray
And it’s a pointless question to ask if it’s night or day
Every day I’m here I’m bleeding my family dry
And I wouldn’t blame them for wishing I’d just die

Now I can truly say that I loved my wife
And until now, I truly loved my life
Eighty-two years and I never slowed down
And now I’ll never see the other side
of this godforsaken town

I gotta find a way to muddle through
Find the next thing to do
Find a way to slip some sunshine through
To paint these walls sky blue

Sky blue
Oh sky blue
My sky blue

I was never one to spend much time living in the past
But where else can I live
when nothing else around me seems to last
And if I close my eyes just right,
I find I can catch a glimpse of you

And I’ll pour the wine for us, and you’ll sit beside the fire
And time and tide can’t hold a match to the flame of our desire
I’ll reach out and I’ll touch you honey,
and I’ll let my fingers feel
The chiffon of your dark green dress,
and what could be more real

Let’s lie down on our backs, let’s look up at the sky
Let’s each choose a single gull to watch,
and let’s trace it as it flies
And I don’t think I’ve ever seen,
I’ve ever seen anything more true
Than this sky blue, this sky blue
My sky blue, my sky blue

Fly me away to this sky blue
I think I’ll spend my time with you
In this sky blue, in this sky blue
In our sky blue, in my sky blue

Fly me away to this sky blue
I think I’ll spend my time with you (I think I’ll stay)
In this sky blue, in this sky blue
In our sky blue, in my sky blue
