A simple, sentimental pop song about the loss of loved ones - it was inspired by the final wishes of a local musician friend who requested mourners at his funeral to wear blue.
Lyrics
Do you remember, your first childhood friend
On the day they moved away, you thought your world would end
Or that distant summer, with a love you thought was true
You hid in your room for days, when they left for someone new
Your eyes cried blue tears, for the love you’d lost
You gave so much to them, before you learned the cost
Curtains close on another, you didn’t want to leave
They had so much to give, you needed to receive
They turned your life around; so many others too
Which is why now, your tears are falling blue
Your eyes cry blue tears, for the one you’ve lost
Who gave so much to you...never counted the cost
And so you weep, hoping the tears start your healing
The pain cuts deep, you’re not alone with this feeling
We’ve all lost someone, we didn’t want to go
With so much life still to live, and it hurt us so
They say the good die young, or if not young, too soon
So our tears are the colour of the sad blue moon
Our eyes cry blue tears, for the ones we’ve lost
Who gave so much to us, and didn’t count the cost
...endless blue tears, falling hard as rain
But the clouds will clear soon and the sun will shine again
But the clouds will clear soon and the sun will shine again
