Are you thinking about me, baby, wondering how I'm doing
Does that ol' lonely feeling ever overcome you
When you're out in the sunshine, does it ever cross your mind
You took my red heart and made it lavender blue

Someday you'll say why did I throw our love away
You will be like me, lavender blue

Are you thinking about me, baby, wondering how I'm doing
Does that ol' lonely feeling ever overcome you
When you're out in the sunshine, does it ever cross your mind
You took my red heart and made it lavender blue

I do love you even though you say we are through
Now that's gone, all wrong, now I'm lavender blue
Our love was like a river that was flowing
How could it stop without me ever knowing?

Are you thinking about me, baby, wondering how I'm doing
Does that ol' lonely feeling ever overcome you
When you're out in the sunshine, does it ever cross your mind
You took my red heart and made it lavender blue, lavender blue
