After you go
I can catch up on my reading
And after you go
I'll have a lot more time for sleeping

And when you're gone
Looks like things are gonna get a lot easier
Life would be a breeze, you know
I really should be glad

But I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue

And after you go
I'll have a lot more room in my closet
After you go
I'll stay out all night long if I feel like it

And when you're gone
I can run through the house screaming
And no one will ever hear me
I really should be glad

But I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue

I don't have to miss no TV shows
I can start my whole life over
Change the numbers on my telephone
But the nights will sure be colder

'Cause I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
