Chet Baker & Elvis Costello- Almost Blue

Almost Blue

Almost blue, almost doing things we used to do
There’s a girl here and she’s almost you, almost
All the things that you promised with your eyes
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying

Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as a fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue, almost touching it will almost do

There’s a part of me that’s always true, always
All the things that you promised with your eyes
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue, almost you, almost blue
