Lighter Shade of Blue

I guess it finally dawned on me, you're gone

Well, maybe I can make it on my own

I don't stay up wonderin' if you'll call

And some nights I don't dream of you at allYour memory's still hurtin' deep inside

That's something I'm still learnin' how to hide

Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two

I've only turned a lighter shade of blueLookin' down the line sometimes I think I see a change

But then I think again and think of you

Here and there I've turned a stone

But the mountain hasn't moved

I've only turned a lighter shade of blueI'm still afraid of turning out the light

And it takes all my strength to face the light

'Cause that's the time I face the bitter truth

I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
