Meaning Of The Blues Composer(s): Leah Worth; Bobby Troup Originally performed by: Julie London Covered by various other artists
Blue was just the color of the sea Till my lover left me Blue was just a bluebird in a tree Till 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 Till he said "Goodbye, love" Blue was just a ribbon for first prize Till he said, "Don't cry, love"
And blues were only torch songs Fashioned for impulsive ingénues But now I know, too well I know Too well I know the meaning of the blues
