MEANING OF THE BLUES lyrics

Blue was just the colour of the sea,

'Til my lover left me!

Blue was just a bluebird in a tree,

'Til he said "Forget me!".

Blue always made me think of Summer,

Cloudless Summer skies so fresh and warm,

But now the blue I see is more like Winter,

Winter skies with clouds about to storm.

Blue was just the colour of his eyes,

'Til he said "Goodbye love!".

Blue was just a ribbon for first prize,

'Til he said "Don't cry love!".

And blues were only torch songs,

Fashioned for impulsive ingenues,

But now I know,

Too well I know,

Too well I know the meaning of the blues!

Blue was just the colour of the sea,

'Til my lover left me!

Blue was just a bluebird in a tree,

'Til he said "Forget me!".

Blue always made me think of Summer,

Cloudless Summer skies so fresh and warm,

But now the blue I see is more like Winter,

Winter skies with clouds about to storm

Blue was just the colour of his eyes,

'Til he said "Goodbye love!".

Blue was just a ribbon for first prize,

'Til he said "Don't cry love!".

And blues were only torch songs,

Fashioned for impulsive ingenues,

But now I know,

Too well I know,

Too well I know the meaning of the blues!

Too well I know,

Too well I know the meaning of the blues!

blue I see is more like Winter

just the colour of the sea,

'Til my lover left me!
