Lyrics
SOMETHIN' BLUE
Saw your picture in the paper, not at all surprised
I always knew that someday you?d make a lovely bride.
If I had held on to you instead of runnin? free
Well there was every change that man would have been me.
Chorus:
But I let our love become your somethin? old
And I let him become you somethin? new.
I said my heart was just something you borrowed
Now I?m you somethin? blue.
I recall a thousand time I looked into that face.
It?s good to see you smile again since he took my place.
Everyone who?s seen you says it was ?meant to be?.
But they also say he looks a lot like me.
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
I?ve never been the kind of man who could stay forever true.
And yes I care but I could not swear that I?d be there for you.
So I ? (repeat chorus)
I?ll always be your somethin? blue.
