After you go

I can catch up on my reading

After you go

I'll have a lot more time for sleeping



And when you're gone it looks like things

Are gonna be a lot easier

Life will be a breeze, you know

I really should be glad



But I'm bluer than blue

Sadder than sad

You're the only light

This empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue



After you go

I'll have a lot more room in my closet

After you go

I'll stay out all night long if I feel like it



And when you're gone

I can run through the house screaming

And no one will ever hear me

I really should be glad



But I'm bluer than blue

Sadder than sad

You're the only light

This empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue



I don't have to miss no TV shows

I can start my whole life over

Change the numbers on my telephone

But the nights will sure be colder, and I'm ...



Bluer than blue

Sadder than sad

You're the only light

This empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue



Bluer than blue
