| 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 |
