Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes
These things are the colors of the blues
In the mail your letter came the ink and paper looked the same
Blue must be the color of the blues
Bluebird's singin' in the trees seems to sympathize with me
But he ain't singin' like he used to do
The pearly waters in the sea are as cold as you left me
Blue must be the color of the blues
[ piano ]
There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red
Blue must be the color angels choose
A blue suit you proudly wore when you left to return no more
Blue must be the color of the blues
Blue days come and blue days go how I feel nobody knows
Life is mighty empty without you
There's a blue note in each song that I sang since you've been gone
Blue must be the color of the blues

Loretta Lynn, all'anagrafe Loretta Webb (1932-2022), è stata una delle più influenti cantautrici country statunitensi di tutti i tempi. Nata in Kentucky, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50, scrivendo canzoni che riflettevano le esperienze della vita quotidiana nelle zone rurali del Sud. Lynn ha raggiunto il successo nazionale con brani come "Coal Miner's Daughter" e "The Pill", diventando un'icona per le donne country e una voce potente per i diritti delle lavoratrici. La sua musica, spesso autobiografica e diretta, ha affrontato temi come la povertà, l'amore, la famiglia e la lotta per l'emancipazione femminile. Ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui tre Grammy Awards, ed è stata inserita nella Country Music Hall of Fame nel 1988. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Coal Miner's Daughter" (1970) e "Fist City" (1968). Oltre alla sua carriera musicale, Lynn ha anche recitato in film e ha scritto un libro autobiografico di grande successo.
