Purple Shades

Purple Shades - Joni James

Written by：Dooley

Purple shades at eventide

Remind me of our love

Every time that they appear

It's you I'm thinking of

I know our love has ended

There's nothing left for me

Of happiness that used to be

If by chance a new romance

Appears to be the thing

I'll just chart it on my wall

As just another fling

Forgetting you completely

Would be the only rule

But I'll admit I'm just a fool

Your memory

Keeps haunting me

My life would be

Just misery

While you're away

I'm not the same

And I'm to blame

I've played the game

Now I know that I must pay

Guess it's time to realize

And tell my foolish heart

There's no use to reminisce

The flame can never start

For purple shades are saying

It's too late now to cry

Your love has gone

Farewell goodbye

I'm not the same

Then I'm to blame

I've played the game

Now I know that I must pay

Guess it's time to realize

And tell my foolish heart

There's no use to reminisce

The flame can never start

For purple shades are saying

It's too late now to cry

Your love has gone

Farewell

Goodbye
