The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

Chorus:

She said, "I'll be true to you, even though you don't want me to...

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,

Chorus:

" 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

Chorus:

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..."
