Bluer Than Blue

(James Anthony Cotton)
@1999


Bluer Than Blue

And I thought I’d paid every cost
And I was livin’ in a land of the lost
And all my dreams they had slipped away
And I couldn’t find myself no way
That’s when I saw the magic in you
And your love helped guide me through
When I was bluer, bluer than blue
You came shinin’, came shinin’ on through
When I was blue

You see all my friends they’d slipped away
And all my dreams, baby, they just wouldn’t stay
And I just didn’t know, just didn’t know what to do
And thank God, thank God I found, I found you
Cos I was bluer, bluer than blue
And I just, just couldn’t see it through
When I was so blue, bluer than blue
Your love held me together, helped see me through
When I was blue
And I just want to thank you

So I just want to thank you baby all I can
Cos I’m tellin’ you, you helped this man
And I just want to tell you what you mean
You’ve been my pleasant, beautiful dream
Cos I was blue, I was bluer than blue
And it was your love, your love that made it through
And it held me together, held me together just like glue baby
Cos when I was blue it was you that came on through
When I was bluer than blue
Thank you
