blue

[ hear the song ]

Listen to poem:
Baby blue, my heart's with you; in the bayou, in the bayou.
Gray clouds sailed, right on through; now I'm back with you, back with you.
All my black moods, turned blue; all because of you, because of you.
I sing the blues, all back in tune; with something new, something new.
Those blues they aren't so, bluesy blue; since I found you, since I found you.

Bluebirds flew where wisteria grew; in the bayou, in the bayou.
Cornflower blooms bright in morning dew; blue's my hue, that's my hue.
Midnight blues don't break me too; not here with you, not here with you.
Skies shine deep blue, oceans wide too; I belong with you, with you.
Oh baby blue, we're blue on blue; all bayou blue, all bayou blue.
