Serenade in Blue
Joe Loss & His Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I hear that Serenade in blue
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
Serenade in blue

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

Line by Line Meaning

When I hear that Serenade in blue
The sound of Serenade in blue takes me to a different realm


I'm somewhere in another world, alone with you
I feel like I am with you in a different world


Sharing all the joys we used to know
We relive the happy memories we had together


Many moons ago
A long time has passed since then


Once again your face comes back to me
I remember your face once more


Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
It's like a melody that I have forgotten but now remembered


In the album of my memory
It's stored in my memory


Serenade in blue
It's the sound of Serenade in blue


It seems like only yesterday
It feels like it was just yesterday


The small cafe, a crowded floor
We were in a small cafe with a crowded floor


And as we danced the night away
As we danced all night long


I hear you say forever more
You said you'd be together forever


And then the song became a sigh
But then the song became a sorrowful tune


Forever more became goodbye
Our promise to stay together ended


Cause you remained in my heart, but
But you stayed in my heart despite what happened


Tell me darling is there still a spark?
I wonder if there's still a glimmer of hope


Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
Or if all that's left is the remnants of our past


Should I go on whistling in the dark,
Should I continue to fool myself


Serenade in blue
By listening to the Serenade in blue
