Suddenly Blue    (R.McGuinn/S.Cutler/D.Morgan)


I walk along the lonely street
Another night of missing 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 between 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 leaving 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
