Misty Blue
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looks like I get you off my mind
Oh, but I can't
Just the thought of you
Turns my whole world
A misty blue
Just the mention of your name
Turns the flicker to a flame
I think of things we used to do
Then my whole world
Turns misty blue
I should forget you
Heaven knows I tried
But, when I say
I'm glad we're through
My heart knows I've lied
The lyrics to Engelbert Humperdinck's song Misty Blue speak of a heartache that just won't go away. The singer has spent a long time trying to forget the person who has caused him pain, but he finds that he can't escape their memory. Even the thought of this person causes his world to turn "misty blue," a color that represents sadness and loneliness. Whenever the person's name is mentioned, the singer's feelings for them become reignited, turning a once-flickering flame into a roaring fire. The singer acknowledges that he should forget this person, and he has tried to do so, but his heart knows that he's lying when he claims to be glad they're through.
Overall, this song clearly expresses the feeling of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on from a past love. The use of the color blue, which is often associated with sadness and longing, infuses the lyrics with a melancholic tone that perfectly matches the song's poignant melody.

Oh, I spent such a long, long time
I have devoted a considerable amount of time to forgetting about you
Looks like I get you off my mind
It may appear as though I have stopped thinking about you
Oh, but I can't
However, I cannot actually forget about you
Just the thought of you
Merely the prospect of your presence
Turns my whole world
Causes my entire life
A misty blue
To become shrouded in a blue haze of sadness and longing
Just the mention of your name
Even the mere utterance of your name
Turns the flicker to a flame
Ignites a small spark of affection into a raging fire
I think of things we used to do
I recollect all of our past experiences
Then my whole world
As a result my entire being
Turns misty blue
Becomes overwhelmed with a blue mist of sadness and longing
I should forget you
I ought to attempt to erase you from my memory
Heaven knows I tried
I have put forth a great deal of effort
But, when I say
Yet when I proclaim
I'm glad we're through
That I am delighted our relationship has ended
My heart knows I've lied
My heart is aware that I am deceiving myself
