Janis Ian
Forever Blue
[Verse 1]
I can't sleep
And I can't lie awake
I just float in between
Tangled up
In the sheets on my bed
And I can't chase you out of my head

[Chorus]
'Cause the day never comes too soon
And the night is forever blue
Was there ever a time—
Just one night or two—
When dreams weren't always of you?

[Verse 2]
I'm old friends
With the quarter moon
That shines on the clock on my wall
Hours pass
'Til the dawn's breaking through
And I have cried a river or two

[Chorus]
'Cause the day never comes too soon
And thе night is forever blue
Was thеre ever a time—
Just one night or two—
When dreams weren't always you?
[Verse 3]
And the night's not to blame
As I whisper your name
She knows how I drove you away
But if my prayers had wings
Then the moonlight would bring you back
Forever to stay

[Chorus]
'Cause the day never comes too soon
And the night is forever blue
Was there ever a time—
One night or two—
When dreams weren't always of you
And I wasn't forever blue?
