(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1976)

From the album GET CLOSER (1976)

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

Sometimes in the morning the tears in your eyes
Make me feel like stayin' and I sympathize
But there's a myst'ry in the night, and people a-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; goodbye my Baby Blue
