I Ll Be True To You lyrics

They met upon a blue moon,
And they parted on a cloudy day
They were so in love and out of school,
But he was goin` so far, far away.

She said: "I`ll be true to you,
"Even though you don`t want me to.
"And I`ll be blue for you,
"Even though you`ve asked me not to."

Well the year`s drifted by them, as we all know they can.
He found other women, but she refused other men.
But as fate would have it, they met again,
She was on a down-hill slide, and he was just slidin` in.

As he looked into her eyes that night, he didn`t realize.
The only real love in his life was passin` by.
When he turned and left her there, his words: "Goodbye".
He heard her calling out to him, and as he walked, she cried:

"I`ve been true to you.
"Seems like speakin` to me is the least that you could do.
"And I`ve been blue for you,
"Even though you`ve asked me not to."

She`d been drinkin way too hard one night,
She`d been drinkin way too long.
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel, she died there in the dawn.
Kneelin` by the grave, oh so late and oh so wrong,
He longed to hold her close again, cryin` on and on.

He cried: "I``ll be true to you.
"After all that I have put you through.
"And I`ll be blue for you,
"Though you never even asked me to."
