Lyrics

Phillip LaRue - Black And Blue
Well the sky is bruised black and blue
Because I beat the stars for you
You said they shined to bright
Made it hard for you to sleep and night
Well you missed the sound of the ocean love
So I caught it in a cage like dove
Brought it to your window to calm you down
Brought it to your window to calm you now
And it's time to forget
This world that you live in
It’s time to let go
Of this life that you hold
Don’t keep your eyes open for me
You fought a good fight
Now why don’t you sleep
Well I’ll love you forever
Till heaven kisses earth
But I can’t keep you hear
It’s not what you deserve
You deserve to walk to run to fly
All the things I wanted for you in this life
What I would do for you
To take the pain away
Oh sister oh my God
What is there left to say?
I’d run a thousand miles
Over sea and land
To find a cure for you
I don’t understand
Will you hold my hand?
Help me understand
And its time to forget
This world that you live in
It’s time to let go
Of this life that you hold
Don’t keep your eyes open for me
You fought a good fight
So why don’t you dream
Please dream

Phillip LaRue Black And Blue
Well the sky is bruised black and blue
Because I beat the stars for you
You said they shined to bright
Made it hard for you to sleep and night
Well you missed the sound of the ocean love
So I caught it in a cage like dove
Brought it to your window to calm you down
Brought it to your window to calm you now
And it' s time to forget
This world that you live in
It' s time to let go
Of this life that you hold
Don' t keep your eyes open for me
You fought a good fight
Now why don' t you sleep
Well I' ll love you forever
Till heaven kisses earth
But I can' t keep you hear
It' s not what you deserve
You deserve to walk to run to fly
All the things I wanted for you in this life
What I would do for you
To take the pain away
Oh sister oh my God
What is there left to say?
I' d run a thousand miles
Over sea and land
To find a cure for you
I don' t understand
Will you hold my hand?
Help me understand
And its time to forget
This world that you live in
It' s time to let go
Of this life that you hold
Don' t keep your eyes open for me
You fought a good fight
So why don' t you dream
Please dream
