A Shade of Blue Lyrics

A lifetime waiting for the light to shine
Suddenly you were here, like an angel appeared
And the world that I knew changed into a wonderland
Then you called out my name, looked around and I found you were gone

Like the rays of the sun
Disappeared into never ending nights

Where everything real has turned to stone
And the songbird has flown
(You're gone)
Now I know a rose can change a shade of blue
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A shade of blue

My body's hurtin', cryin' and yearnin'
Sometimes I feel like I'm losin' my mind
And I think about you, knowin' only you could understand
Here alone in my room, I can feel all the walls closin' in

Feelin' trapped in a shell
Wishin' that I could spin the wheels of change

'Cause everything real has turned to stone
And the songbird has flown
(You're gone)
Now I know a rose can change a shade of blue
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A shade of blue
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A shade of blue

Everything real has turned to stone
And the songbird has flown
(You're gone)
Now I know a rose can change
Everything real has turned to stone
And the songbird has flown
(You're gone)
Now I know a rose can change a shade of blue

Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A shade of blue
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A shade of blue
(Sometimes I feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A shade of blue
I can feel all the walls closin' in

2. Not only this Smooth Jazz band shares same band name, they have a song called "Millenium"(2006) that is exactly same title (intentionally misspelled) as the other Incognito's (Jazz Funk) song on their album "100° and Rising"(1995), plus the logo resembles in font. The title "Every Day"(2006) on the album Street Smarts exactly alike in titles (when read) with the other Incognito's famous tune "Everyday"(1995). They are often tagged totec radio. Also mis-tagged by fans as bluey where there's no link to Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick himself. r00ts & t4lk1n l0ud tags also used, that could mislead fans to the Bluey's famous tunes like "Roots" & "Talkin' Loud".
