Ever try to give it up? It's so hard to do
'Cause every time we live it up, I'm so in love with you
You're all over my mind, you're takin' up a lot of my time
And so I'm gonna give it up, goodbye, baby blue

You're a real fine woman, I want you to know
Leavin' you ain't easy but I got to go
There's an old friend in me, tellin' me I gotta be free
And so I've gonna give it up, goodbye, baby blue
(Goodbye, baby blue)

Sometimes in the morning the tears in your eyes
Make me feel like stayin' and I sympathize
But there's a mystery in the night and people passin' by
Makes me want to give it up, goodbye, baby blue

Bye, bye, bye my baby blue, bye bye, my baby blue
Bye, bye, bye my baby blue, bye bye, my baby blue

Oh, baby, oh, it's so hard to do
'Cause I can't imagine a day without you
There'll be some long and lonesome nights
You'll wake up and turn on the lights

And realize it's over, goodbye, baby blue
Bye, bye, bye my baby blue, bye bye, my baby blue
Bye, bye, bye my baby blue, bye bye, my baby blue
