When Sunnt Gets Blue
Sarah Vaughan · Other Songs - Sarah Vaughan
Then the rain begins to fall, pitter-patter, pitter-patter
Love is gone; what can matter?
No sweet lover-man comes to call
When Sunny gets blue, she breaths a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the trees
Wind that sets the leaves to swaying
Like some violin is playing strange and haunting melodies
People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair, she lost her smile, changed her style
Somehow she's not the same
When Sunny gets blue, pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue
People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair, she lost her smile, changed her style
Somehow she's not the same
