Julie London - Meaning of the Blues lyrics
[Julie London - Meaning of the Blues lyrics]
Blue was just the color of the sea
Till my lover left me
Blue was just a bluebird in a tree
Till 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 color of his eyes
Till he said, "Goodbye, love"
Blue was just a ribbon for first prize
Till he said, "Don't cry, love"
And blues were only chart songs
Fashioned for impulsive ingénues
But now I know, too well I know
Too well I know the meaning of the blues
Blue was just the color of his eyes
Till my lover left me
Blue was just a bluebird in a tree
Till 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 color of his eyes
Till he said, "Goodbye, love"
Blue was just a ribbon for first prize
Till he said, "Don't cry, love"
And blues were only chart songs
Fashioned for impulsive ingénues
But now I know, too well I know
Too well I know the meaning of the blues
Blue was just the color of his eyes
