Your Greatest Shade of Blue

Your innocence has gone

Oh you have lost your sense of wonder

Embraced you as you shone

But tore your child-like world asunder

The led you on and on but they

Didn't mean to do you wrong

Darling

It's your greatest shade of blue

Lose it before it bleeds right through

So much more than you can do

I'm counting on you

Now your mother's stately crown

Slips to show just what she's thinking

While your daddy's losing ground

Can't believer his ship is sinking

They pushed you on and on

Then asked just where did we go wrong

If you run now please don't look behind

Send them flowers explaining this is the way it was meant to be

Darling

It's your greatest shade of blue

Lose it before it bleeds right through

Trade it in for something new

I'm counting on you

It's your greatest shade of blue

Lose it before it bleeds right through

So much more than you can do

I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you
