Meaning of the Blues

Blue is just the color of the sea
'Til my lover left me
Blue is 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 water
When the skies blue clouds about to storm
Blue is just the color of his eyes
'Til he said goodbye love
Blue is just written for first prize
'Til he said don't cry love
And blues were only taught soul less
Fashioned for impassive afternoons
But now I know to well I know
To well I know the meaning of the blues
Blue is just the color of his eyes
