Here's to you, you solitary sleeperbr As you face another long and lonely nightbr Put the tom cat out in the yardbr And turn out the lightbr Switch offbr br Rest your head, and close your weary peepersbr As you try and keep those memories at baybr And from now on start tryingbr Not to toss your sleepy time awaybr 'Cause weary eyes and weary shouldersbr Won't bring her back to youbr You used to be a man of colorbr And now you're midnight bluebr br Your weary eyes and weary shouldersbr Won't bring her back, it's true, yes it's truebr You used to be a man of color oncebr But now you're midnight bluebr br Rest your head, and close your weary peepersbr As you try and keep those memories at baybr And from now on start tryingbr Not to toss your sleepy time awaybr br 'Cause weary eyes and weary shouldersbr Won't bring her back to youbr You used to be a man of colorbr And now you're midnight bluebr br Your weary eyes and weary shouldersbr Won't bring her back, it's true, yes it's truebr You used to be a man of color oncebr But now you're midnight bluebr br writer : Tony Colebr
