THEY MET UPON
THE BLUE MOON
AND THEY PARTED
ON A CLOUDY DAY
THEY WERE SO IN LOVE
AND OUT OF SCHOOL
BUT HE WAS GOIN'
SO FAR FAR AWAY
SHE SAID
I'LL BE TRUE TO YOU
EVEN THOUGH
YOU DON'T WANT ME TO
AND I'LL BE BLUE
FOR YOU
EVEN THOUGH
YOU'VE ASKED ME
NOT TO
WELL THE YEARS
DRIFTED BY THEM
AS WE ALL KNOW
THEY CAN
HE FOUND OTHER
WOMEN BUT SHE
REFUSED OTHER MEN
BUT AS FATE WOULD
HAVE IT
THEY MET AGAIN
SHE WAS ON
A DOWNHILL SLIDE
HE WAS JUST SLIDIN' IN
AS HE LOOKED INTO
HER EYES THAT NIGHT
HE NEVER REALIZED
THE ONLY REAL LOVE
IN HIS LIFE
WAS PASSIN' BY
WHEN HE TURNED
AND LEFT HER THERE
HIS WORDS GOODBYE
HE HEARD HER
CALLIN' OUT TO HIM
AND AS HE WALKED
SHE CRIED
I'VE BEEN TRUE TO YOU
SEEMS LIKE
SPEAKIN' TO ME IS
THE LEAST THAT
YOU COULD DO
AND I'VE BEEN BLUE
FOR YOU
EVEN THOUGH
YOU'VE ASKED ME
NOT TO
SHE'D BEEN DRINKIN'
WAY TOO HARD
ONE NIGHT
SHE'D BEEN DRINKIN'
WAY TOO LONG
ALONE AND PALE
IN A CHEAP HOTEL
SHE DIED THERE
IN THE DAWN
KNEELING
BY HER GRAVE
OH SO LATE AND
OH SO WRONG
HE LONGED TO HOLD HER
CLOSE AGAIN
CRYING ON AND ON
HE CRIED
I'LL BE TRUE TO YOU
AFTER ALL I HAVE
PUT YOU THROUGH
AND I'LL BE BLUE
FOR YOU
THOUGH YOU NEVER
EVEN ASKED ME TO
