Lyrics
Blue – Tracey Bunn / Peter Hayes 2025
I’m gonna paint a picture
A picture of you
I’m gonna use texture
and colour and craft a whole lotta blue
I’m gonna dapple shadows
Shadows in grey
Under the beauty
the mystery and the blue that won’t fade away
Chorus
I’ll highlight your cheeks and your eyes
Cause you don’t see yourself that way
Like the moonlight that fell on your face
The night that you walked away
You’re a study in blue
And I’m missing you
You’re a picture that’s more than display
Where is the rainbow
Beneath which we kissed
Why is the blue, blue background
The one thing we missed
Who holds your heart now
Who’s holding you
Why must the rainbow we kissed beneath
Forever turn blue
Chorus
I’ll highlight your cheeks and your eyes
Cause you don’t see yourself that way
Like the moonlight that fell on your face
The night that you walked away
You’re a study in blue
And I’m missing you
You’re a picture that’s more than display
You say it’s time for me to let you go I say no
You say it’s time for you to walk away Stay
Chorus
I’ll highlight your cheeks and your eyes
Cause you don’t see yourself that way
Like the moonlight that fell on your face
The night that you walked away
You’re a study in blue
And I’m missing you
You’re a picture that’s more than display
I'm gonna paint a picture
