Serenade
Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be alright
Yeah
My hands around your waist, your hands are locked behind my neck
Just keep your eyes on mine
Will you dance with me?
Baby, I know
That it's hard to see
And I can hear the thunder now
But we can dance under the clouds even if it starts raining
'Cause I know it's hard to dance with no music on
So I'll make us songs to keep our little dancing on
So would you dance with me?
Baby, you're all I need
Oh
In the song "Serenade in Blue" by Anthony & the Sophomores, the lyrics speak of a nostalgic longing for a lost love. The singer is transported to another world when he hears the serenade in blue, which represents the memories of the joys he shared with his lost love, many moons ago. The theme of the serenade in blue brings back memories that are preserved in the album of his memory. The lyrics depict the singer as reminiscing about a small cafe, where he and his lover used to dance the night away. The song was their shared theme, and they vowed to be together forever. However, forever more became goodbye, and the singer is left wondering if there is still a spark or only the lonely ashes of the flame they knew.
The song is a classic example of a love ballad from the 1950s, when doo-wop and rhythm and blues were popular genres. The lyrics are deeply sentimental, and the music is slow and poignant. The song was originally written by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon for the 1942 film, "Orchestra Wives." The song was used as an instrumental in the film, and it was only later that the lyrics were added. The song has been covered by several artists over the years, including Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, and Roy Orbison. In 1999, Rod Stewart also recorded a version of the song for his album, "It Had to Be You."
Line by Line Meaning
When I hear that Serenade in blue
I am transported to another world, a world where I am alone with you, whenever I hear that Serenade in blue.
Sharing all the joys we used to know
Our memories of the past flood back to me, and I feel as though we are sharing all the joys we used to know.
Many moons ago
It has been a long time since we were last together.
Once again your face comes back to me
Your face appears in my mind again and again, just like the theme of a forgotten melody.
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
Your image is like a recurring melody in the album of my memory.
In the album of my memory
You occupy a special place in my memories.
It seems like only yesterday
It feels like it was just yesterday when we were together.
The small cafe, a crowded floor
I remember the small cafe and the crowded dance floor where we once danced together.
And as we danced the night away
As we danced, time seemed to stand still, and the night seemed endless.
I hear you say forever more
I remember hearing you say 'forever more', and I held onto those words.
And then the song became a sigh
But then the song ended, and reality set in. What was supposed to be forever more became a sigh.
Forever more became goodbye
The promise of forever more became a painful goodbye.
Cause you remained in my heart, but
You may have left, but you remain in my heart, always.
Tell me darling in there still a spark?
I wonder if there is still a spark between us.
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
Or are there only lonely ashes left of the flame we once shared?
Should I go on whistling in the dark,
Should I continue to hold on to the hope that there may be something left between us, even if I can't see it?
Serenade in blue
The Serenade in blue continues to play, a reminder of the past and of what could have been.
