PREPARATIONS TO BE BLUE
(Del Reeves / Ellen Reeves)

Lefty Frizzell - 1965



 
I got out my old teardrops tonight
Just to try bein' alone again for size
I know that I'll be needin' them before too long
So I'm makin' preparations to be blue

Makin' preparations to be blue
Getting ready for when I lose you
Takin' inventory of what's left of me and you
So I'm makin' preparations to be blue

(Instrumental Break)

I'm lockin' all your memories inside my heart
One by one I'll take 'em out when we're apart
Seein' you with him I knew my heartaches were overdue
So I'm makin' preparations to be blue

Makin' preparations to be blue
Gettin' ready for when I lose you
Takin' inventory of what's left of me and you
Yes, I'm makin' preparations to be blue
