BLUE

Blue was the color of my sky; 
Blue, like the smoke on mountains high. 

Blue was my ocean when weather was bright;
Blue like the shade of the neon light. 

Blue was your glow like a fine Sapphire, 
like blue diamond tamed by fire. 

Blue was my face when our love did die;
My blue heart was left asking why. 

Blue may still be my tomorrow 
until blue skies will tame my sorrow.
