The Meaning Of The Blues

Nnenna Freelon

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 first prize Til 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
