Now won't you picture a man
He's not hard- pressed; He's not down
He's got a song on his lips
He's got his feet on the ground
He wears his heart right on his sleeve
Because he knows her love is true
But when the sun shakes off the cold
And drops a name out of the blue
 

Just a name out of the blue
A name that chills him to the bone
A name that once possessed her love
A name that once possessed her soul
About the time that he forgot
About a love that she once knew
The sun shook off the cold
And dropped a name out of the blue
 

Now won't you picture this man
Who'd rather die than ever fail
And has a feeling he can't name
But he knows it all too well
That the thing he feared the most
Has been long since overdue
And the when the sun shook off the cold
It dropped a name out of the blue
 

Just a name out of the blue
A name that chills him to the bone
A name that once possessed her love
A name that once possessed her soul
About the time that he forgot
About a love that she once knew
The sun shook off the cold
And dropped a name out of the blue
 

Now won't you picture if you can
His lifeless body on the floor
He's not hard- pressed, he's not down
And he's not singing anymore
For he was standing toe to toe
With what he really always knew
The day the sun shook off the cold
And dropped a name out of the blue
 

The day the sun shook off the cold
And dropped a name out of the blue
