|
They met up on the blue moon |
|
And they parted on a cloudy day |
|
They were so in love and out of school |
|
But he was going so far, far away |
|
She said, "I'll be true to you |
|
Even though you don't want me to |
|
And I'll be blue for you |
|
Even though you've asked me not to" |
|
Well the years drifted by them as we all know they can |
|
He found other women but she refused other men |
|
But as fate would have it, they met again |
|
She was on a down hill slide, he was just slidin' in |
|
As he looked into her eyes that night he never realized |
|
The only real love in his life was passin' by |
|
When he turned and left her there, his words, "Good bye" |
|
He heard her calling out to him and as he walked she cried |
|
"I've been true to you |
|
Seems like speakin' to me is the least that you could do |
|
And I've been blue for you |
|
Even though you've asked me not to" |
|
She'd been drinking way too hard one night |
|
She'd been drinking way too long |
|
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel she died there in the dawn |
|
Kneeling by her grave oh so late and oh so wrong |
|
He longed to hold her close again crying on and on |
|
He cried, "I'll be true to you |
|
After all that I have put you through |
|
And I'll be blue for you |
|
Though you never even asked me to" |
