For my father, Martin R. Ahearn.
Lyrics
Little Boy Blue © 2017 Larry Ahearn
Brushstroke watercolor gray
No blue in the sky today
Sitting in your old blue chair
Reading and watching the world out there
I'm watching the window watching you
We're both looking for someone we once knew
Good-bye little boy blue
World pass you by-wasn't waiting for you
Brushstroke watercolor blue
I've been thinking a lot about you
A shade of green and yellow, too
Some of our dreams die and some come true
You can look at the past but please don't stare
I've been to places, believe me, I've been there
Good-bye little boy blue
World pass you by-wasn't waiting for you
Bridge: The apple don't fall all that far from the tree
I'm thinking of you, but I'm looking at me
Would you have done things all that much differently
Brushstroke watercolor green
Emerald Isle color schemes
A child's unanswered prayers & dreams
can't find our way in the dark, it seems.
Hourglass turning round and round in rhyme
No right side up ... no upside down this time ...
Good-bye little boy blue
World pass you by-wasn't waiting for you
