Rhapsody In Blue
Glenn Miller and The Army Air Force Band 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" is a nostalgic song about lost love. The singer hears the song played and is transported back in time to a small café with a crowded floor where he and his lost love danced the night away. The song takes him back to the time when they shared all the joys they used to know many moons ago. The memories of his love flood back to him as if they were only yesterday, with her face coming back to him like the theme of some forgotten melody. As he dwells in the memories of his love, he sings the serenade in blue, in the hope that his lost love still thinks of him, and that there is still a spark.

When I hear that Serenade in blue
The music transports me to a different world
I'm somewhere in another world, alone with you
I feel like I'm with you again
Sharing all the joys we used to know
Remembering the good times we had together
Many moons ago
A long time has passed since those memories
Once again your face comes back to me
I see your face in my mind
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
Reminiscent of a tune that I can't quite recall
In the album of my memory
The recollection is preserved in my mind
Serenade in blue
The music is a serenade in a blue mood
It seems like only yesterday
The memories are vivid and fresh
The small cafe, a crowded floor
The place where we used to be together
And as we danced the night away
Remembering the happy moments we shared
I hear you say forever more
The promise of eternal love and commitment
And then the song became a sigh
The music turned into a lament
Forever more became goodbye
The promise of love turned into farewell
Cause you remained in my heart, but
I still have feelings for you
Tell me darling in there still a spark?
I wonder if there is still love between us
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
The affection we had is now only a memory
Should I go on whistling in the dark,
Should I keep hoping for a reconciliation?
Serenade in blue
The music laments the loss of love
