Baby Blue Lyrics & Chords By Seals & Crofts

(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1976)
From the album GET CLOSER (1976).

Ever try to give it up? It's so hard to do.
'Cause every time we live it up, I'm so in love with you.
You're all over my mind, you're takin' up a lot of my time.
And so I'm gonna give it up, goodbye Baby Blue.

You're a real fine woman, I want you to know.
Leavin' you ain't easy but I got to go.
There's an old friend in me, tellin' me I gotta be free.
And so I've gonna give it up, goodbye Baby Blue.

Sometimes in the morning the tears in your eyes.
Make me feel like stayin' and I sympathize.
But there's a myst'ry in the night, and people a-passin' by.
Makes me want to give it up, goodbye Baby Blue.

Bye, bye, bye my Baby Blue; bye bye my Baby Blue.
Bye, bye, bye my Baby Blue; bye bye my Baby Blue.
Oh, baby, oh. It's so hard to do.
'Cause I can't imagine a day without you.
There'll be some long and lonesome nights. You'll wake up and turn on the lights.
And realize it's over, goodbye baby blue.
Bye, bye, bye my Baby Blue; bye bye my Baby Blue.
Bye, bye, bye my Baby Blue; goodbye my Baby Blue.
