Baby Blue
Dennis Marsh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That she won′t come back to stay
That she'd only comes to pick up her clothes
She wrote I must not cry
That her love for me has died
But she′d found sombody else, I suppose
Baby Blue, Baby Blue
Do you know that I'm still in love with you
How I need you, how I want you Baby Blue
I know I must forget
All the good times we had
But I′ll know that I can′t forget you
You're still on my mind
And I know I can find
Such a girl as my sweet Baby Blue
Baby Blue, Baby Blue
Do you know that I′m still in love with you
Now I know that you won't be here no more
How I need you, how I want you Baby Blue
Baby Blue, Baby Blue
Do you know that I′m still in love with you
Now I know that you won't be here no more
How I need you, how I want you Baby Blue
How I need you, how I want you Baby Blue
The song "Baby Blue" by Dennis Marsh tells the story of a man who receives a letter from his lover, who has decided not to come back to him. She only comes to pick up her clothes and tells him that her love for him has die, and that she has found someone else. The man expresses his longing for her and confesses that he is still in love with her despite the hurt she caused him. The chorus emphasizes his feelings towards her: "Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Do you know that I'm still in love with you? Now I know that you won't be here no more, How I need you, how I want you Baby Blue."
The song evokes a feeling of nostalgia, heartbreak, and longing. The man is conflicted between moving on and forgetting the woman who hurt him, and holding onto the memories they shared, which reminded him of what he has lost. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that has ended, but the man's feelings remain. It's a song about heartache and accepting the reality that the person you love is gone, but it also highlights the struggle to let go.
