Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Tears fill my eyes 'til I can't see
Here am I
Sittin' here so lonely
So lonesome I could cry
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Now that it's over
I realized
Those weak words you whispered were nothin' but lies
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Why can't you be blue over me

Blue
I am feeling sad and lonely
Oh, so lonesome for you
I am feeling this way because I miss you
Why can't you be blue over me
I wish you were feeling sad and lonely because you miss me too
Tears fill my eyes till I can't see
I am crying because I am so sad about missing you
Three o'clock in the morning
It is very late at night and I am still awake
Here am I
I am alone and feeling sad
Sittin' here so lonely
I am sitting by myself and feeling lonely
So lonesome I could cry
I am feeling so sad and lonely that I could cry
Now that it's over
Our relationship has ended
I realized
I have come to the understanding
Those weak words you whispered were nothin' but lies
You were not honest with me when you whispered sweet nothings
Why can't you be blue over me
I wish you were feeling sad and lonely because you miss me too

Sitting here at mom's bedside at a nursing home. She doesn't have much time left and can't communicate. She loved this song so much and used to sing along. She's moving her toes and fingers -- it's delightful. Thank you to the songwriter and the talented Ms Rimes โค for making mom so happy today.
