Shades of Blue

What you did for me was everything I needed

Smiles from holding my baby, yeah

What you gave to me was everything I needed

Smiles from having my family

In a this here, shades of blue

Upon this ocean view

It's up to you, my friend, yeah

Shades of green upon this island scene

It's up to you, my friend, if you know what I mean, ay

'Cause I've been down before

Down on the bottom of the barrel

Drowning myself in sorrows

Only Jah, Jah knows

'Cause I've been down before

Down on the bottom of the barrel

Drowning myself in sorrows

Only Jah, Jah knows

In a this here, shades of blue

Upon this ocean view

It's up to you, my friend

In a this here, shades of green

And everything in between

But it's up to you, my friend if you know what I mean

Down on the bottom of the barrel

Only Jah, Jah knows

Yes, I've been down before

Tears be dropping to the floor

Praising to Jah, said I don't want no more

Yes, my heart get so sore

Praising to Jah, said I don't want no more

Shades of blue (shades of blue)

Upon this ocean view

It's up to you, my friend

In a this here, shades of green (shades of green), and everything in between

It's up to you, my friend, if you know what I mean, yeah

Shades of green

Oh, oh-oh yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Shades of green
