Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Well, tonight if you turn your radio onYou might hear a sad, sad songAbout someone who lost everything they hadIt may sound like meBut I’m a little bluer than thatWhen you look out in the morning, you might seeClouds rollin’ by like memoriesAnd a big old sky above you lookin’ backYou may think of meBut I’m a little bluer than thatWhere did we go wrong?I wish I knewIt haunts me all the timeNow wherever I go and whatever I doYou’re always on my mind
