I'll Be True To You

They met upon a blue moon
And they parted on a cloudy day
They were so in love and out of school
But he was goin' so far, far away
She said: «I'll be true to you
«Even though you don’t want me to
«And I’ll be blue for you
«Even though you’ve asked me not to.»
Well the year’s drifted by them, as we all know they can
He found other women, but she refused other men
But as fate would have it, they met again
She was on a down-hill slide, he was just slidin' in
As he looked into her eyes that night, he never realized
The only real love in his life was passin' by
When he turned and left her there, his words: «Goodbye»
He heard her calling out to him, and as he walked, she cried:
«I've been true to you
«Seems like speakin' to me is the least that you could do
«And I’ve been blue for you
«Even though you’ve asked me not to.»
She’d been drinkin way too hard one night
She’d been drinkin way too long
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel, she died there in the dawn
Kneelin' by the grave, oh so late and oh so wrong
He longed to hold her close again, cryin' on and on
He cried: «I'll be true to you
«After all that I have put you through
«And I’ll be blue for you
«Though you never even asked me to.»
