LyricsShe looked so much like a lady But she was so much like a child devil when she held me close An angel when she smiled She always held it deep inside But somehow I always knew She'd go away when the grass turned greensand the sky turned baby blue Baby blue Was the color of her eyes Baby blue Like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know whys, here's to you and whoever Holds my baby blue tonight She brought color to my life That my eyes have never touched When she taught me how to care I've never cared so much try not to think of her But I fall asleep and do And go away where the grass turns greensand the sky is baby blue Baby blue Was the color of her eyes Baby blue Like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know whys, here's to you and whoever Holds my baby blue tonight Baby blue Was the color of her eyes Baby blue Like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know whys, here's to you and whoever Holds my baby blue tonight
