Lyrics Brown To Blue - George Jones

Brown To Blue

We stood there in the courthouse room
So close yet far apart
You had brought your lawyer
And I’d brought a broken heart
The judge pronounced the words
The way you wanted him to do
And changed your name from Brown to Jones
And mine from Brown to blue
I couldn’t keep my tears from falling
On the courtroom floor
By law, they took away my rights
To love you anymore
My world just seemed to stop
While I stood there so close to you
They changed your name from Brown to Jones
And mine from Brown to blue
The judge forgot to tell me
How I’d live my life alone
What I would do without you
After loving you so long
He didn’t seem to care that
I am still in love with you
He changed your name from Brown to Jones
And mine from Brown to blue
I couldn’t keep my tears from falling
On the courtroom floor
By law, they took away my rights
To love you anymore
My world just seemed to stop
While I stood there so close to you
They changed your name from Brown to Jones
And mine from Brown to blue
