Serenade
Frances Langford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm somewhere in another world, alone with you
Sharing all the joys we used to know
Many moons ago
Once again your face comes back to me
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
In the album of my memory
It seems like only yesterday
The small cafe, a crowded floor
And as we danced the night away
I hear you say forever more
And then the song became a sigh
Forever more became goodbye
Cause you remained in my heart, but
Tell me darling in there still a spark?
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
Should I go on whistling in the dark,
Serenade in blue
The song Serenade in Blue by Frances Langford is a nostalgic journey back to love and memories. The opening line 'when I hear that serenade in blue', transports the singer to a different world altogether, where she is with her lover, reliving the moments of pure love and joy that they shared once upon a time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers dancing away in a crowded cafe, holding on to each other, seemingly lost in time. The memories seem to have taken up permanent residence in the singer's mind, as she recalls the forgotten melody and the album of memory that contains all of those beautiful moments.
However, it's not all sunshine and roses as the lyrics take a turn towards the end. The singer questions if those memories and love are still intact or if they have turned into lonely ashes of the flame that they once knew. The question about the presence of a spark depicts a fear of abandonment and uncertainty. The line 'should I go on whistling in the dark,' seems to be the singer's last attempt to rekindle the love that was lost, and hold on to something that she cherishes so much.

When I hear that Serenade in blue
Whenever I listen to Serenade in blue
I'm somewhere in another world, alone with you
I feel like I am in a different world, and I am with you, all by myself
Sharing all the joys we used to know
We are reliving all the good times we had together
Many moons ago
A long time ago
Once again your face comes back to me
I see your face again, just like before
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
It's like the tune is from an old song we both forgot
In the album of my memory
It's like a memory that is part of my mind's collection
Serenade in blue
It's the song Serenade in blue
It seems like only yesterday
It feels like it was just yesterday
The small cafe, a crowded floor
It was a small café, and the floor was full of people
And as we danced the night away
We danced all night
I hear you say forever more
You told me we would be together forever
And then the song became a sigh
But then the music turned into a sad sound
Forever more became goodbye
Our forever more turned into a goodbye
Cause you remained in my heart, but
Even though you are still in my heart, however
Tell me darling in there still a spark?
I wonder if there is still some love between us?
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
Or is there only an empty feeling left of the love we had?
Should I go on whistling in the dark,
Should I keep hoping even though there is no light?
Serenade in blue
All while listening to Serenade in blue
