Bittersweet & Blue Lyrics

[Verse]
I've got a photograph of you
Kept in a box of memories
And when I feel breakable
I take it out
And look into your eyes
Hoping you tell me what do to
Give me some guidance
Always unshakeable
Your voice was strong, and beautiful and wise

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at the cloudless day
You captured me smiling
A fantasy life, you say
Is our silver lining

[Chorus]
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue

[Refrain]
Bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Oh, oh
Bittersweet and blue
[Verse]
Maybe I left it late to say
You were my hero
Rising the falling sun
Whistling Elvis, striding through the snow
The thought of a weekend far away
Lasting forever
But when the day had come
The final bell concealed a body blow

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me now, you'd say
Drowning in sorrow
I guess I got lost today
But there's always tomorrow

[Chorus]
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue

[Refrain]
Bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
This is your life
Bittersweet and blue
[Chorus]
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue

[Refrain]
Bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Oh, oh
Bittersweet and blue

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
