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
