That was the end of my baby days Blue blue morning, blue blue day All your bad dreams drift away It's a blue blue morning, of a blue blue day Lose those bad dreams Those gray clouds above you, what you want them around with you for? You got someone to love you Who could ask for more? It's a blue blue morning, of a blue blue day All your bad dreams drift away Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Rider In The Rain, Roll With The Punches, Rollin, Rollin, Rosemary, Sail Away, Same Girl, Sandmans Coming, Shame, Short People, Sigmund Freuds Impersonation Of Albert Einstein I, Sigmund Freuds Impersonation Of Albert Einstein In Amer, Sigmund Freuds Impersonation Of Albert Einstein In Ameri, Sigmund Freuds Impersonation Of Albert Einstein In America, Simon Smith And The Amazing Dancing Bear, So Long Dad, Something Special, Song For The Dead, Spies, Strange Things, Suzanne, Take Me Back, Texas Girl At The Funeral Of Her Father, Thatll Do Babe, The Beehive State, The Blues, The Girls In My Life (Part 1), The One You Love, The Story Of A Rock And Roll Band, The World Isnt Fair, The World Isnt Fair, Theres A Party At My House, Theres A Party At My House, They Just Got Married, Uncle Bobs Midnight Blues, Uncle Bobs Midnight Blues, Underneath The Harlem Moon, When She Loved Me, William Brown, Yellow Man, You Can Leave Your Hat On, You Cant Fool The Fat Man, You Cant Fool The Fat Man, Youve Got A Friend In Me, Burn In My Light (Real), Burn In My Light (Theme Tune), Hindi Magbabago, After School, Born To Love, Breath Of God, Other Randy Newman song Lyrics A Fool In Love Lyrics A Wedding in Cherokee County Lyrics Back In Time Lyrics Back On My Feet Again Lyrics Bad News From Home Lyrics Baltimore Lyrics Bet No One Ever Hurt This Bad Lyrics Better Off Dead Lyrics Big Hat, No Cattle Lyrics Birmingham Lyrics Burn On Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Randy Orton Lyrics Randy Santiago Lyrics Randy Starr Lyrics Randy Stonehill Lyrics Randy Travis Lyrics Randy Travis F/ Clint Eastwood Lyrics Randy Travis F/ Kris Kristofferson Lyrics randy vanwarmer Lyrics Rangel Lyrics Rangel Vanessa Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
