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" 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
