anyday - I wanna
hear you say, you say
you are my rhapsody in blue
anyway - I need ya
anyday - I hold ya
wanna stay and feel
you are my rhapsody in blue
see me turn away from you now
see me turn away from you now
see me turn away from you now
and feel the rhapsody in blue
all the way - I've come to
wanna play - and run to
hear you say, you say
you are my rhapsody in blue
see me turn away from you now ...
all the way - I've come to
wanna play - and run to
hear you say, you say
you are my rhapsody in blue
In Bell Book & Candle's song "Rhapsody In Blue", the singer is expressing their deep infatuation with someone they care about. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desire to be with this person, feeling that they are the embodiment of a rhapsody in blue - a piece of music that evokes a range of emotions. The repetition of "anyway" and "anyday" emphasizes that the singer's feelings are ever-present and consistent, regardless of the circumstances.
The lines "see me turn away from you now" suggest a conflict within the singer - perhaps they are hesitant to confess their love, or they fear rejection. However, they resolve to "feel the rhapsody in blue", indicating that they are willing to take a chance and pursue this person. The use of "blue" as a metaphor for emotion is fitting, as blue can represent both sadness and tranquility, but also hope and optimism.
