A Patch of Blue
© 2004 John O’Hara
I work up to find
You weren’t first on my mind
Still you were second
Hey, well that’s progress
Looked around and found
I had slept on the left side of the bed
What used to be your side
These days I’ll take what I can get
Time changes everything it’s true
Just when I thought there was no getting over you
Now the sun is breaking through
I’ve found a patch of blue
A patch of blue
Was surprised when I
Didn’t stop when I
Thought I smelled your cologne
On a man walking by me
And tonight, I didn’t drive
Out of my way, past the place
That used to be our place
That we’d found together
These days I’m happy to forget
Time changes everything it’s true
Just when I thought there was no getting over you
Now the sun is breaking through
I’ve found a patch of blue
A patch of blue
I never thought I’d get past all that pain
But now I see my dark skies are clearing up again
INSTRUMENTAL
Time changes everything it’s true
Just when I thought there was no getting over you
Now the sun is breaking through
I’ve found a patch of blue
A patch of blue
