Blue Memory

Blue Memory Lori Lieberman

In the light of the day
I forget that it’s over
I imagine you’re here
With your hand on my shoulder
I’ve got to find you
How can it be
That a love can slip away
Do you still think of me

Oh, baby,if I only knew
If someone had told me
I’d have held on to you
Oh darlin’, if I’d only seen
Maybe I’d be more to you
Than a blue memory

When the hummingbird hums
I’ll be long, long gone
Spend the rest of my nights
Wonderin’ what went wrong
Until I find you
There’s no other way
I’ll hang on to my heart
For as long as it takes

Oh baby, if I only knew
If someone had told me
I’d have held on to you
Oh darlin’, if I’d only seen
Maybe we’d be more today
Than a blue memory

With love there’s just no guarantee
If falls apart so easily
It is the cure in times of need
It is the knife that makes you bleed

From the look on your face
I could tell that it’s over
Said you’d keep me warm
Then you gave me the cold shoulder
Come on, baby, tell me the truth
How’d you look me in the heart

When you said, “I love you”?

Oh, baby if I only knew
If someone had told me
I’d have let go of you
Oh, darlin’ if I’d only seen
Maybe we’d be more today
Than a blue memory
