Every night I dream you're next to me
Tenderly... you say my name
You stay close enough to keep me here
Then disappear... when we're face to face

And if you'd carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
I'd be the bed you lay upon
And blue is blue and so am I
'Cause I want to be with you tonight
And you're not the only one in need

You know everybody's watching me
And what they see is me watching you
In the middle time is creeping by
And I wonder why you're so removed

And if you'd carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
I'd be the bed you lay upon
And blue is blue and so am I
'Cause I want to be with you tonight
And you're not the only one in need

Come on baby, life is just a net into which you dive
And I'm getting closer to you now

If I love you, will you run away?
And if you stay, will I disappear?

And if you'd carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
I'd be the bed you lay upon
And blue is blue and so am I
And I want to be with you tonight
And blue is blue and so are we
And you're not the only one in need

Oh, come on babe now
Come on baby now
'Cause you're not the only one
You're not the only one in need
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
Blue is blue and so am I...
