Paroles de Meaning Of The Blues

Blue was just the color 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 bright, and 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
'Til he said "goodbye love"
Blue was just a ribbon for a 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 color of his eyes.
'Til he said "goodbye love"
Blue was just a ribbon for a first prize
'Til he said "don't cry love" Too well I know the meaning of the blues
