I've been sittin' here all night long
Watching the night unfold
I hear a sad sentimental song
What a lovely way to grow old

All that's left for me it to reminisce
Too late to stop, too far away to kiss
I'll forget about you after I'm through
Painting this old town blue

I gotta a lotta good feelings, babe
It's got nowhere to go
If it was love you were stealing, babe
I just forgot to let go

But all I need is just a little more time
A little less memory and a little more wine
I'll forget about you after I'm through
Painting this old town blue

A velvet haze is falling around my head
And clouding up my view
Your memory is flowing, the wine is red
Honey my eyes are, too

But all I need is just a little more time
A little less memory and a little more wine
I'll forget about you after I'm through
Painting this old town blue

Oh yeah, painting this old town blue
Whoo hoo, painting this old town blue
