BLUE CRAYONS WRITE THE BEST
Mario Spinosi, copyright 2003

THE CARD SAID SEASONS GREETINGS AND THE PICTURE WAS OF THEM

LITTLE JIMMY SMILING WITH HIS MOTHER HOLDING HIM

ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CARD WAS A NOTE THERE JUST FOR ME

IT WAS PRINTED IN BLUE CRAYONS WITH THE LETTERS HARD TO READ

CHORUS

IT SAID I LOVE YOU DADDY EVEN THOUGH YOUR FAR AWAY

I HOPE YOU'LL COME HOME SOON AND I WISH THIS TIME YOU'LL STAY

I LEARNED TO WRITE SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE MOM IS HELPING ME WITH THIS

AND I HOPE YOU LIKE THE COLOR BLUE CRAYONS WRITE THE BEST

MY CAREER HAS TAKEN ME AWAY AND I'VE GONE FOR MUCH TO LONG

AND THESE COLORED CRAYON WORDS SHOW ME WHERE I BELONG

MY EYES BEGAN TO FILL WITH TEARS AND A LUMP ROSE IN MY THROAT

AS I READ AGAIN THE CRAYON WORDS MY LITTLE JIMMY WROTE

REPEAT CHORUS

I KNOW HE'S GROWING UP TO FAST AND I WISH THAT I WAS THERE

AND THE LIFE I ALWAYS DREAMED OF IS NOT THE LIFE I'M LEAVING HERE

SO I BOUGHT MYSELF SOME CRAYONS AND I KNEW WHICH ONE TO USE

AND I WROTE A LETTER BACK TO HIM IN CRAYON COLORED BLUE

MODIFIED CHORUS

IT SAID I LOVE YOU JIMMY EVEN THOUGH I'M FAR AWAY

AND I'LL BE COMING HOME SOON AND THIS TIME YOU KNOW I'LL STAY

YOU LEARNED TO WRITE SINCE I'VE BEEN GONE AND I THANK YOUR MOM FOR THIS

AND YES I LIKE THE COLOR BLUE CRAYONS WRITE THE BEST
