Preparations to Be Blue

Lefty Frizzell

(Del Reeves - Elen Reeves)

I got out my old teardrops tonight
Just to try to be on again for size
I know that I'll be needing them before too long
So I'm making preparations to be blue.

Making preparations to be blue
Getting ready to win I lose you
Taking an inventory of what's left of me and you
So I'm making preparations to be blue.

I'm locked in all your memories inside my heart
One by one I'll take 'em out and we're apart
Seeing you with him I knew my heartaches were old friends
So I'm making preparations to be blue.

Making preparations to be blue
Getting ready to win I lose you
Taking an inventory of what's left of me and you
So I'm making preparations to be blue...
