Baby Blue

[Verse 1] Small town, big blue sky Little blonde baby with starry blue eyes Growing up fast didn’t slow her down American child in her baby blue gown Her bedroom was pink ‘til she turned three She liked the feel of her baby blue sheets Neighbors stared at the one horse lie Of a little girl with blue on her mind [Chorus] Thought of green when she was feeling blue American child in her baby blue boots She was an archangel, sweet danger Living and loving and singing her song Knew what she wanted and knew what she loved And she loved, she loved baby blue [Verse 2] Eighteen, small scene Here, our love was a beauty unseen Living life young, she’d never get bored When Hank came around in his beat-up Ford Prom night came with a blue corsage Had the car waxed at Ben’s Garage Told her he loved her and meant nothing less To a baby-blonde girl in a baby blue dress He reached over and kissed her hand Five years later came a brand-new, baby blue wedding band [Chorus] She was a romantic, taking chances Living and loving and singing her song Knew what she wanted and knew what she loved And she loved, she loved baby blue [Verse 3] Married two years, Hank was an engineer She would just stay home, soon-to-be mom Every night they’d sit on the front porch Waiting for the brand-new, brand-new baby to come [Chorus] She was a newcomer, lullaby hummer Counting her blessings and living for love Knew what she wanted and knew what she loved And she loved her new baby, Blue Her brand-new baby, Blue Her newborn baby, Blue [Outro] Small town, big blue sky Little blonde baby with starry blue eyes
