A Lover Is Blue

Ella Fitzgerald · Radio Years 1940 [1999]

Yesterday we were gay

I was high on a rainbow

But now there's no rainbow

You've gone and so a lover is blue



Life was sweet, so complete

Now I've suddenly wakened

To find I'm forsaken

Alone and so a lover is blue



Do you still remember our love affair?

Does it matter to you?

But I'll have to go through our door to care



Here and there everywhere

Every scene just reminds me

Of something that binds me

To you and so a lover is blue
