Tex williams pretty in blue lyrics

The funeral home was empty but for me

And the flowers smelled as sweet as they could be

The candle light threw shadows on the floor

As I kneeled down to caress her cheek once more

Oh Lord she looks pretty in blue

Just as soft as the early morning dew

And every dream I have on earth is sleepin' too

Oh Lord she looks pretty in blue



My lonely heart was countin' in my ears

The silence it was all that I could hear

My sleepin' beauty lay with folded hands

So the world could see her golden weddin' band

Oh Lord she looks pretty in blue...



I have spent the night in silence by her side

And relived each happy moment of our lives

Then the silence was broken with the dawn

God give me some ring to face my life alone

Oh Lord she looks pretty in blue...
