Blue

Blue is the color of my heart today.
Blue is the color of the dog you loved.
Blue is the color of the heav'n above,
Where without a word you have gone to stay.

Blue was the color of my bouncing boy.
Blue were the color of the clothes you wore.
Blue are our days, unlike days of yore,
which with your sweet grin were so full of joy.

Blue is the color of my small balloon.
Blue is the color of my heart today.
Blue are the words that I wrote today,
Which with tears I tied to my blue balloon.

Blue is my home sans your sweet small smile.
Blue were the color of your sparkling eyes.
Blue is the color of the vast clear skies,
Where I longed to look, hoping all the while.

Blue is the color of my heart today.
Blue is the color of my small balloon.
Blue is the color of the empty skies,
where out from my sight, my balloon has gone.

Blue is the color of my small balloon.
Blue was the color of the boy I loved.
Blue is the color of the heav'n above,
where I feel, my love, you have gone too soon.
