Bouquet of Blues
Julie London Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you seen the girl of great regret?
Looking for the man she can't forget
Misery in high heel shoes holding
A bouquet of blues

Have you seen her go her lonely way?
Dressed in tattered dreams of goodbye grey
Lost with nothing more to lose
She carries a bouquet of blues

All she can hear is a echo of
A voice saying this will last
All she can do is follow in
The footsteps of the past
Think about the girl of great regret
Think about the man she can't forget





Never let the man you choose bring
You a bouquet of blues
