My dreams are blue, my schemes are blue
Everything I look at seems to turn to blue
Except the sky above, as gray as it can be, that follows me
An' my broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!

The traffic lights, shine overhead
They're the deepest blue instead of green an' red
Especially on the corner where we used to meet
I hear the beat, of a broken hearted song,
marchin' along to the blues!

< instrumental break >

You promised me, you would never make me cry
But look whatcha did, when you said goodbye!
The moon is blue, the stars are blue
Ever since they heard the news that we were through
They can't believe that after making you my own, I'd be alone
With a broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!

< instrumental break >

Oh! look whatcha did, when you said goodbye!
The moon is blue, the stars are blue
Ever since they heard the news that we were through
They can't believe that after making you my own, I'd be alone
With a broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!

With a broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!
