Grayer Shade Of Blue

I didn’t dream that I’d ever say

That I miss you now you’ve gone away

But I guess that I’m glad you’ve settled down

Even if it’s with a younger me, in the same old town

The same old town

Does she know that she looks just like me?

‘Cause, babe, it ain’t too hard to see

All of our friends find it funny

Can’t say I agree

I’m just sitting on the back porch

Drinking with my new friends

And, babe, I ain’t heard from you

Since I don’t know when

‘Cause you’re busy someplace else

Making new memories without me

And is it just in my imagination

That you look happy

Oh, tell me where the time goes

Am I the only one who wants to know?

Why it’s the same old sky

But it’s a new whole grayer shade of blue

A grayer shade of blue

A grayer shade of blue

A grayer shade of blue

Sad to hear your mom and pop ain’t around

Wish we could have talked

But that ain’t allowed

You’re on a new river now and where it flows

I can never know

I’m just sitting round the campfire

Drinking with my new friends

And, babe, I ain’t heard from you

Since I don’t know when

‘Cause you’re busy somewhere else

Where you don’t want to think about me

And I guess I just can’t believe that

That makes you happy

Oh, tell me where the time goes

Am I the only one who wants to know?

Why it’s the same old sky

But it’s a new whole grayer shade of blue

A grayer shade of blue

A grayer shade of blue

A grayer shade of blue

I’m just sitting on the back porch

Drinking with my new friends

And, babe, I ain’t heard from you

Since I don’t know when

‘Cause you’re busy someplace else

Making new memories without me

And is it just in my imagination

That you look happy

Oh, tell me where the time goes

Am I the only one who wants to know?

Why it’s the same old sky

But it’s a new whole grayer shade of blue

A grayer shade of blue

A grayer shade of blue

A grayer shade of blue

I’m just sitting on the back porch

Drinking with my new friends

And, babe, I ain’t heard from you

Since I don’t know when
