Blue Blue © 2009 Words by Nigel Quin - Music by Mark Kaufman On this starry night We are together falling hopeless you and I In a heaven so hopeless you and I I look into your eyes And on this starry night You told me Of a color just for you That's when I replied Blue Blue I met you at the dance And when you looked up, never thought you saw my glance All alone with my embarrassed looking stance I turned and slid away I walked up to the bar You joined me Is this dream or is this true? While the lights spun round Blue Blue Yesterday I wandered to the local fair And went riding on the love train all alone But now I taste your lips and smell your perfumed hair (I) Guess the fortuneteller didn't know, oh no On the avenue The roses blooming with the taste of morning dew Love is looming, special thoughts of me and you Just dreaming of your eyes And on this avenue My old home Is now looking fine and new Petals everywhere Blue Blue
