Out of the Blue
Deborah Gibson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always thought that
Ev'rything was fine
Without you
Never knowing you'd be mine
Suddenly my world has changed
And I just wonder why
Now it's you
Out of the blue
Love appeared
Before my eyes with you
Dream come true
I never thought I'd realize
What love was, what love was,
What love was
I need you, I need you
And ev'ry day I love you
More and more
Without you
I know what it's all for
Suddenly I see you there
And ev'rything's okay
Don't know why I feel this way
Now it's you
Out of the blue
Love appeared
Before my eyes with you
Dream come true
I never thought I'd realize
What love was, what love was,
What love was
Here with you
The lyrics of Deborah Gibson's song Out of the Blue express the life-changing power of love. The singer starts by saying that she always thought everything was fine without her lover in her life. She never even knew that he would be hers. Suddenly, her world changes and love appears. The singer wonders why it took just one smile to change everything. She now realizes that he was the missing piece in her life. She can't believe that love has found its way into her life so unexpectedly, hence the phrase "out of the blue".
The second verse highlights the importance of the lover to the singer. Without him, she knows that everything in her life is pointless. When she sees him, everything becomes okay, and she can't even explain why. The chorus repeats the suddenness and surprise of the love that has appeared in her life. The singer never thought she would realize what love was "before my eyes with you".
The bridge - "Here with you" - concludes the song beautifully. The singer is grateful for the love she has found and is excited to be experiencing it with the one she loves. Overall, the melody, the lyrics, and the delivery of this song capture the joy and wonder of discovering love unexpectedly.

I'm 55 years old now, but I always felt that's just a number. My physical self may change but my heart will always be young, as young as when I'm in 80's and living the dream. Wish I could go back and forget this present time full of chaos, violence and war.

What do you admire most about Debbie
@jeffjohnson5544
She was fortunate to have sane parents who weren't trying to live off of the money she made and to have seemingly ethical managers. She never had the fame that Britney Spears had but Debbie Gibson was/is a 1000 times better singer and her songs were actually HITS. She was wholesome and wasn't a bad influence on my generation like Britney is. Debbie is now a stable adult who never self-destructed.
