Cinnamon’s sour,
And a minute’s an hour
Sleeping is so hard to do
‘Cause you said goodbye
With no reason, no “why”
And left me just memories, feeling

Ever-blue
Over you
Who could have known at the start
You’d leave and shatter my heart?
Nothing’s old
Nothing’s new
There’s only the tears
That will color my years
Ever-blue

The kids ask me why
But I tell them a lie
Daddy has things to do
But God, can’t you see
There’s a cloud over me
How can I hide that I’m feeling

Ever-blue
Over you
Who could have known at the start
You’d leave and shatter my heart?
Nothing’s old
Nothing’s new
There’s only the tears
That will color my years
Ever-blue
