They met up on the blue moon

And they parted on a cloudy day

They were so in love and out of school

But he was going so far, far away She said, "I'll be true to you

Even though you don't want me to

And I'll be blue for you

Even though you've asked me not to" Well, the years drifted by them as we all know they can

He found other women but she refused other men

But as fate would have it, they met again

She was on a down hill slide, he was just slidin' in As he looked into her eyes that night he never realized

The only real love in his life was passin' by

When he turned and left her there, his words, "Good bye"

He heard her calling out to him and as he walked, she cried "I've been true to you

Seems like speakin' to me is the least that you could do

And I've been blue for you

Even though you've asked me not to" She'd been drinking way too hard one night

She'd been drinking way too long

Alone and pale in a cheap hotel

She died there in the dawn Kneeling by her grave

Oh, so late and oh, so wrong

He longed to hold her close again

Crying on and on He cried, "I'll be true to you

After all that I have put you through

And I'll be blue for you

Though you never even asked me to"
