Twenty Shades Of Blue

LIFE DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT THE WAY YOU THOUGHT IT MIGHT AND THAT'S WHERE SONGS LIKE THIS COME FROM

TWENTY SHADES OF BLUE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

IT'S NOT YOUR IMAGINATION

THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU HEARD

YOUR NAME WHISPERED ON THE WIND

WISH I KNEW NOW

WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW THEN

WHAT I NOW KNOW IS TRUE

I WAS ILL FATED TO YOU

LIFE'S NOT ALWAYS PRETTY

SELDOM KIND

YOU GOT AHEAD, AND I FELL BEHIND

I CALLED YOUR NAME

BUT YOU WERE ALREADY GONE 

VISIONS AND DREAMS THAT

NEVER CAME TO BE

FADING LIKE

 THE LAST LIGHT OF THE DAY

AS OUR LOVE LAY

 BLEEDING IN THE SNOW

NO WAY TO STAUNCH THE FLOW

CHORUS

TWENTY SHADES OF BLUE

PAINTED IN THE SKY

I OWN THEM ALL

I CAN IDENTIFY

OR AT LEAST I TRIED

YOU COULDN'T MOVE

TO CHANGE YOUR MIND

YOU ON YOUR SIDE

ME ON MINE

HOW COULD I HAVE

 BELIEVED IN YOU

THOUGHT YOU WERE

 MY DREAM COME TRUE

TWENTY SHADES OF BLUE

PAINTED IN THE SKY

IN THE FADING LIGHT

LEFT THERE TO DIE

EXACTLY WHEN WAS IT

I BECAME

JUST ANOTHER PASSING

 THOUGHT IN YOUR MIND

I FLEW AWAY ON WINGS OF SORROW

SUDDENLY I HAD

NO PLANS FOR TOMORROW

I CAME HOME ALL ALONE

NO ONE THERE TO GREET ME

I NEVER SAW IT COMING

UNTIL I WAS GOING

YOU LEFT ME BEFORE 

I WAS EVEN GONE

NOTHING MORE TO DO

THAN HANG MY HEAD

WON'T YOU HELP ME SEE

HELP ME UNDERSTAND

 THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION

HELP ME FIND A PLACE TO LAND

MAYBE I WAS STILL IN SHOCK

MY MIND STILL NUMB

GOING BACK THE WAY I'D COME

LOVE WAS THERE

THEN LOVE WAS GONE

TOOK ME AWAY FROM ALL I KNEW

THEN YOU TOLD ME

OUR LOVE WAS THROUGH

I FELL FOR EVERY BIT OF IT

SURE I PLAYED MY PART

BUT ALL I GOT WAS

 A BROKEN HEART

DIG A HOLE

PLANT A TREE

DEDICATE IT TO

A LOVE THAT WILL NEVER BE

JUST TWENTY SHADES OF BLUE
