Lyrics as written

Daylight

Brings the memories

Brings the heartache

But all my dreams

When I wake

Turn blue

Tender

Something special

Keeps me waiting

Leaves me holding back

I want more

Turn blue

If I take a chance

To make decisions

Can I bear

To make mistakes

If I take a chance

To make decisions

Can I bear

To make mistakes

Waiting

Growing tired

Growing colder

In the still of night

Hearts I’m told

Turn blue

Thinking

I remember

The decisions

When all I want

Is something new

Turn blue

If I take a chance

To make decisions

Can I bear

To make mistakes

If I take a chance

To make decisions

Can I bear

To make mistakes

Midnight

Leaves me breathless

And uncertain

Of a hand to hold

Am I wrong

To turn blue

Morning

Play to lovers

Sings a lovesong

That I’ve never heard

Am I wrong

To turn blue

Am i wrong

To turn blue

Mmm, to turn blue

Am I wrong

To turn blue

Story behind the music

Sidney had completed his college classes for the day on an overcast winter day. He sat down and began playing arpeggio patterns with complementary bass notes searching for the right harmonic combination. When he finished he was sure this would be the next Detsky Mir song. Sidney shared his latest creation with Reid, who was inspired to write the perfect lyrics to complement the melancholy mood that is Turn Blue.
