bittersweet & blue

i've got a photograph of you

kept in a box of memories

and when i feel breakable

i take it out and look into your eyes

hoping you'd tell me what to do

give me some guidance

always unshakeable

your voice was strong

and beautiful and wise

look at the cloudless day

you captured me smiling

a fantasy life

you say

is our silver lining

this is your life

dreams can come true

but like your memories of me

they'll be bittersweet and blue

this is your life

dreams can come true

but like your memories of me

they'll be bittersweet and blue

bittersweet and blue

bittersweet and blue

oh

oh

bittersweet and blue

maybe i left it late to say

you were my hero

rising the falling sun

whistling elvis

striding through the snow

the thought of a weekend far away

lasting forever

but when the day had come

the final bell concealed a body blow

look at me now

you'd say

drowning in sorrow

i guess i got lost today

but there's always tomorrow

this is your life

dreams can come true

but like your memories of me

they'll be bittersweet and blue

this is your life

dreams can come true

but like your memories of me

they'll be bittersweet and blue

bittersweet and blue

bittersweet and blue

this is your life

bittersweet and blue

this is your life

dreams can come true

but like your memories of me

they'll be bittersweet and blue

this is your life

dreams can come true

but like your memories of me

they'll be bittersweet and blue

bittersweet and blue

bittersweet and blue

ooh

bittersweet and blue
