Purple Shades - Joni James
Written by:Dooley
Purple shades at eventide
Remind me of our love
Every time that they appear
It's you I'm thinking of
I know our love has ended
There's nothing left for me
Of happiness that used to be
If by chance a new romance
Appears to be the thing
I'll just chart it on my wall
As just another fling
Forgetting you completely
Would be the only rule
But I'll admit I'm just a fool
Your memory
Keeps haunting me
My life would be
Just misery
While you're away
I'm not the same
And I'm to blame
I've played the game
Now I know that I must pay
Guess it's time to realize
And tell my foolish heart
There's no use to reminisce
The flame can never start
For purple shades are saying
It's too late now to cry
Your love has gone
Farewell goodbye
I'm not the same
Then I'm to blame
I've played the game
Now I know that I must pay
Guess it's time to realize
And tell my foolish heart
There's no use to reminisce
The flame can never start
For purple shades are saying
It's too late now to cry
Your love has gone
Farewell
Goodbye
