Story Behind The Song
It is a twist on the old saying, "blue in the face," as in, "I have talked to you until I'm blue in the face." I thought it was a pretty good play on words, since the singer is feeling blue because the relationship isn't going so well.
Song Description
It is the tale of a woman's love for a man who doesn't feel the same way toward her. She is devoted and will be long after the relationship is over, which it is apparent that it should have been over long ago.

Lyrics
Blue In The Heart © 1989 David W. Folsom
I woke up this morning and reached out for you
But somethin's been missin' for days
I prayed that you'd hold me like you used to do
'Coz I'm missin' your old, lovin' ways
I've loved you and loved you 'til I'm blue in the heart
And you tell me that we can't go on
I've loved you and loved you 'til I'm blue in the heart
And I'll love you long after your gone
I can't understand why your love hasn't grown
I've given you all that I could
You've stepped on and crushed every seed that I've sown
And my prayers haven't done any good
I've loved you and loved you 'til I'm blue in the heart
And you tell me that we can't go on
I've loved you and loved you 'til I'm blue in the heart
And I'll love you long after your gone
I stood by your side through good times and bad
What more is a girl supposed to do
I wish I could leave you and forget what we had
If I left it would be after you
I've loved you and loved you 'til I'm blue in the heart
And you tell me that we can't go on
I've loved you and loved you 'til I'm blue in the heart
And I'll love you long after your gone
