Blues in shades of you

*(Verse 1 – Slow Swing, Sultry)*

Met you in the morning light, soft as a summer breeze

You had that easy charm, oh boy, you put my heart at ease

Called me "darlin'," called me "dear," made my lonely fade away

But I was playin’ make-believe in a love that couldn’t stay

*(Pre-Chorus – Snappy, Playful)*

Oh, I shoulda seen the way you danced

Talkin’ ‘bout some other man

I was lost in sweet romance

Didn’t know I had no chance

*(Chorus – Smooth, Bluesy Feel)*

Ooh, love was blind, and I was too

Didn’t read between the blues

Built a dream just me and you

But honey, you had different hues

You loved him, and I loved you

Now I’m sippin’ heartbreak in this smoky room

*(Verse 2 – Laid-Back Groove)*

Two whole years of dreamy nights, thought you might be mine

But baby, love don’t work that way when hearts ain't aligned

Spinnin’ ‘round in wishful thinkin’, dancing in denial

But truth’s a tune you can’t unhear when played in your own style

*(Pre-Chorus – Playful Jazz Scat)*

Oh, I shoulda known by the way you sighed

Every time that boy walked by

Was it love or just my pride?

Either way, I said goodbye

*(Chorus – Strong, Soulful Finish)*

Ooh, love was blind, and I was too

Didn’t read between the blues

Built a dream just me and you

But honey, you had different hues

You loved him, and I loved you

Now I’m just a melody—

Singin’ blues in shades of you

*(Outro – Soft Piano, Fading Trumpet)*

Mmm... singin’ blues in shades of you...
