''If I Ever Get Over You'' from Blue Guitars Album Number Seven Blues Ballads.

Blue Guitars is a Blues album released by Chris Rea on October 14, 2005, consisting of eleven CDs, one DVD and a fullcolour book, including paintings by the artist, liner notes and song lyrics.

The album is an ambitious project with the 137 songs recorded over the course of 1½ years with a work schedule according to Chris Rea himself of twelve hours a day, seven days a week.

Initially, the project was inspired by Bill Wyman's "Blues Odyssey" and can be called an "odyssey" in its own right, for depicting a journey through the various epochs of Blues Music, starting at its African origins and finishing with moderntime Blues from the 60s and 70s.

Subsequently the eleven CDs are titled the following: "Beginnings", "Country Blues", "Louisiana & New Orleans", "Electric Memphis Blues", "Texas Blues", "Chicago Blues", "Blues Ballads", "Gospel Soul Blues & Motown", "Celtic & Irish Blues", "Latin Blues" and "60s & 70s".

Lyrics:

When tomorrow comes
The first day for me
That I will rise
Not so young, but free
Gonna paint the town the brightest red
A drink for every time you said
That we were one, always to be
I leave at home the ring you gave to me
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever get over you
I'm gonna laugh no more the silent one
Dance upon tables
Never home 'till midnight been and gone
I'm gonna throw away all my clothes so blue
Gonna try everything, everything that's new
And when tomorrow comes
The first day for me
That I will rise
not so young, but free
I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever get over you
Somebody said this new life
That I have come to know
I should have tried it
Oh so many years ago
The glimpse of freedom
Sings such a happy song
It's such a shame that it's only there
Only there for one
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever if I ever
Get over you......
Good time waiting
It’s there for the taking
So many good things for me to do
If I ever, oh, if I ever
If I ever get over you.
