Carmen McRae
the meaning of the blues
Select language to translate this lyric
Blue was just the color of the sea
Till my lover left me
Blue was just a blue bird in a tree
Till he said forget me
Blue always made me think of summer
Cloudless summer skies so fresh and warm
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 dont you cry love
And blues were only toward somes
Fashioned for impulsive engineer
But now I know
Too well I know
Too well I know the meaning of the Blues
