Harry akst / grant clarke

It was a morning, long before dawn
Without a warning i found he was gone
How could he do it
Why should he do it
He never done it before

Am i blue
Am i blue
Ain’t these tears, in these eyes telling you
How can you ask me "am i blue"
Why, wouldn’t you be too
If each plan
With your man
Done fell through

There was a time
When i was his only one
But now i’m
The sad and lonely one…lonely

Was i gay
Untill today
Now he’s gone, and we’re through
Am i blue
