Can't do it, never could but what a show
Oh, no.

And then one day, I looked away,
Into the air, the Lord was there,
He broke the sky, the sun flew by,
I died for you, Shades of Blue.

But maybe now, when you lose control,
You'll see what I could give,
Trapped inside your heart, I'm dyin' to live.
And if the moon is bright, the stars will all kiss you
The colors of my heart are shades of blue.
