Story Behind The Song

No real story. Just a title and idea that came to me. Several women have expressed a liking for the basic idea.

Song Description

A song about a woman who became a bit jaded about love because of past failed relationships, but still got married. A friend said she simply took the first train out of town.

Lyrics

The Bride Wore Blue

Written by Jim Chase

Verse
When she was still just a girl, she had her dreams
About the man who would take her away
He'd show her the world, and then promise her the moon
Yeah, she'd have it all someday

Verse
But now she's a woman and she remembers the first time she loved
And oh, how she fell
Sometimes she wonders just where did they go wrong
But then she says oh what the hell

Chorus
She knows the world has a way to turn blue skies to grey
And dreams just go drifting away
So on the day she got married
The bride wore blue
The color of a heart broke in two
Love lost all it's glow for her so long ago now you know
Why the bride wore blue

Bridge
If you can't take the heartache then don't fall in love
The hurt can't get to you that way
No highs, no lows, no hopeful tomorrows
Just live your life for today

Verse
In a perfect world, the one we all dream of
The one with that sweet rosy glow
We'd all find true love and we'd never know sorrow
And there'd be no thorns on a rose

Chorus
But the world has a way to turn blue skies to grey
And dreams just go drifting away
So on the day she got married
The bride wore blue
The color of a heart broke in two
Love lost all it's glow for her so long ago now you know
Why the bride wore blue

Bride wore blue
The color of a heart, a heart that's broke in two
Love lost all it's glow for her so long ago
Now you know why the bride wore blue
That's why the bride wore blue
Now you know why the bride wore blue
