Paintin' This Old Town Blue

(album: When I Dream - 1978)

I've been sitting here all night long
Watching the night unfold
I hear a sad sentimental song
What a lovely way to grow old
All that's left for me is to reminisce
Too late to talk, too far away to kiss
I'll forget about you after I'm through
Painting this old town blue

I got a lot of good feelings babe
It's got nowhere to go
If it was love you were stealing babe
I just forgot to let go
But all I need is just a little more time
A little less memory and a little more wine
I'll forget about you after I'm through
Painting this old town blue

A velvet haze is falling around my head
And clouding up my view
Your memory is flowing, the wine is red
Honey, my eyes are too
But all I need is just a little more time
A little less memory and a little more wine
I'll forget about you after I'm through
Painting this old town blue, oh yeah
Painting this old town blue
Painting this old town blue
