Meaning of the Blues

Blue is just the color of the sea

'til my lover left me

Blue is 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 water

When the skies blue clouds about to storm

Blue is just the color of his eyes

'til he said goodbye love

Blue is just written for first prize

'til he said don't cry love

And blues were only taught soul less

Fashioned for impassive afternoons

But now I know to well I know

To well I know the meaning of the blues

Blue is just the color of his eyes
