Meaning Of The Blues in Julie London

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
