Lyrics
I came with a little bit of sorrowWas maybe a bit too sadBut one day rolled into tomorrowAnd you gave me the best you hadThat’s how we started togetherAnd how together we’re gonna stay
You taught me a little ’bout good timesI fought through a little bit of rainYou brought me a part of your sunshineYou took in the heart of my painIt wasn’t supposed to happenBut then you happened to come my way
Every night, every dayEvery word that you say made it soEvery thought that I hadSaid I ought to be glad, now I know
You showed what a little bit of love can doYou opened my eyes and a light came throughTook me to a place that I never knewGoodbye to my little bit of something blue
You came and you found me wantingAnd I’m saying that I’m in your debtSome days were a little bit dauntingSome days I’d rather forgetYou changed my life for the betterAnd I know I’d better be good to you
Every night, every dayEvery word that you say made it soEvery thought that I hadSaid I ought to be glad, now I know
You showed what a little bit of love can doYou opened my eyes and a light came throughTook me to a place that I never knewSo long to my little bit of something blue
It wasn’t supposed to happenBut then you happened to come my way
Every night, every dayEvery word that you say made it soEvery thought that I hadSaid I ought to be glad, now I know
You showed what a little bit of love can doYou opened my eyes and a light came throughTook me to a place that I never knewGoodbye to my little bit of something blue
Farewell to my little bit of something blue
