That Perfect Shade Of Blue
(Amy Brothman, Barry Keenan)
It was in the dead of night
My dad came to my room
"Wake up son, we're leaving now
Your Mamma's time is due"
I looked up into the twilight
The sun came breaking through
The sky was that perfect shade of blue
Blue as my mother's eyes
When she sings me off to sleep
Her eyes are that perfect shade of blue
We traveled faster than superman
A nurse rushed my Ma away
My dad gave me my box of crayons
He said, "Wait here son and play"
I was afraid of losing her
So an angel's what I drew
She was that perfect shade of blue
Blue are my angel's hands
As she prays my soul to keep
Blue are my mother's eyes
When she sings me off to sleep
Her eyes are that perfect shade of blue
I know in heaven
Her heart will be set free
I know in heaven
She'll be watchin' over me
My Dad led me by the hand
He took me to her side
My Ma was lying in her bed
And I thought that I would cry
I was surprised to see a baby boy
She said, "He looks a lot like you
His eyes are that perfect shade of blue"
Blue are my brother's eyes
And I pray his soul to keep
Blue are my mother's eyes
As she sings him off to sleep
Her eyes are the perfect shade of blue
That perfect shade of blue
