I'll Never Make You Blue

Lyrics: Ray Cline, Charlie Cline
Music: Ray Cline, Charlie Cline

Covered by the New Riders of the Purple Sage:

Since you went away, my skies have turned to gray
Darling I will never make you blue
Those things we used to do, I'll make them up to you
Darling I will never make you blue

I will never make you blue, darling, I promise you
To be forever honest and be true
Those things we used to do, I'll make them up to you
Darling, I will never make you blue

Since you went away, my skies have turned to gray
Darling I will never make you blue
Those things we used to do, I'll make them up to you
Darling I will never make you blue

I will never make you blue, darling, I promise you
To be forever honest and be true
Those things we used to do, I'll make them up to you
Darling, I will never make you blue

Roots
Originally by the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers (founded by Ray Cline). The full lyrics were:
Since you went away the skies have turned to gray
I never knew I loved you this way
I can't live without you and if you come back soon
Darlin' I'll never make you blue

Chorus
I'll never make you blue darlin' I'll promise you
To be forever honest and true
The things I used to do I'll quit them all for you
Darlin' I'll never make you blue

Darlin' I'm to blame but I won't be the same
All I ask is one more chance
To prove what I can do darlin' for you
I'll prove that I can make your heart be true

[chorus]

Please come back to me don't leave me here to grieve
My life will wait for your memory
Just let me alone and say you'll come back home
Darlin' I can't live alone

[chorus]
