Johnny Blue

Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
We love all your words and music
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
Singing songs for everyone
 
He was blind from the first day
And prayed there was some way
A blind boy could play children's games
There was never a friend who
Poor Johnny could turn to
The boys in the town called him names
 
And teased him:
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
See the colors of the rainbow
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
How the children made him cry
 
His guitar was an old one
A present from someone
And no one could take it away
He heard all kinds of music
And learned how to use it
To make a new song every day
 
He told them:
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
Here's a song about my rainbow
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
All the children sang along
 
And in no time he found words to rhyme
(Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue)
Made for music created with help from above
(We love all your words and music)
Painting pictures, all in harmony
(Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue)
Follow happiness and love
 
Because out of his darkness
Came beautiful sunshine
To light up and touch everything
Now his name is a legend
And millions of people
Will run to hear Johnny Blue sing
 
Oh Johnny
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
We love you the whole world over
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
And it's only just begun
 
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
We love all your words and music
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue
Singing songs for everyone
 
(Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue)
And it's only just begun
