Suddenly Blue

Roger McGuinn

I walk along the lonely street

Another night of missin' her

I just can't sleep

Just for a moment it all seems

I must be havin' a bad dream

Then reality returns

My baby's gone and my world has turned



Suddenly blue

Without her I can't go on

Only yesterday her love was here to stay

Now I'm suddenly blue

Just don't know what went wrong

But I got to bring her back

The days are long and the nights

Are black when you're suddenly blue



Last time I looked into her eyes

Was she tryin' to tell me

I should read beetween the lines

Was she cryin' all alone

Did I forget to hold her close

I must have looked but did not see

Now her leavin' is leavin' me



Now I've got to find her tonight

And get it right



Was she cryin' all alone

Did I forget to hold her close

A painful lesson I have learned

My baby's gone and my world has turned
