The Meaning of the Blues 歌詞
The Meaning Of The Blues - Irene Kral/Count Basie and His Orchestra
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 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
