Lyrics
Blue was just the colour 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
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 first prize
'Til he said "Don't cry love"

And blues were only torch songs
Fashioned for impulsive ingenues
Now I know
Too well I know
Too well I know the meaning of
The blues

Blue was just the color of the sea
'Til my lover left me
Blue was just a bluebird in the tree
'Til 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
'Til he said "Goodbye love"
Blue was just a ribbon for 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
The meaning of the blues
Too well I know the meaning of the blues

The blue I see is more like winter

Just the color of the sea
'Til my lover left me, dee dah
Doo ba doo, ba doo ba, dee doo

Too well I know the meaning of the blues
Yeah
Doo ba doo, ba doo ba, dee doo
