After you go, I can catch up on my reading

And after you go, I'll have a lot more time for sleeping

And when you're gone

Looks like things are gonna get 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

Cause 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

Bluer than blue
