Walking 'round my floor Lord, and watching out my door
Wondering what am I to do
Crying on my pillow weeping like a willow
Looking at a deeper shade of blue.
CHORUS:
This ain't the first time I've seen the blues
This is the worst kind of pain I ever knew
It's a heart breaking love taking aching without you
Looking at a deeper shade of blue.
Loving you too much and living for your touch
Trying hard not to face the truth
Yearning with desire burning like a fire
Looking at a deeper shade of blue.
