Blue By Charles F Blanchard
Charles F Blanchard 1952 (Springfield, MA)
They say a man must not cry
and I've said that for You I'd die.
You are all that matters,
yet you tear my heart to tatters.
You play my being
you're a sweet thorn in my chest,
and all I can do
is lower my head and cry
I can't feel bitter
for I'm not sure you're aware
of the desolation you caus
yet I hold you very dear.
all I've said
every word is true
so now all I can do
is live, love you
and be Blue.
