Under a Blanket of Blue
Patti Page Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just you and I beneath the stars
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours
Under a blanket of blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling, I know my heart will dance
A summer night's magic, enthralling me so
The night would be tragic
If you weren't here to share it my dear
Covered with heaven above
Let's dream a dream of love for two
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
Under a blanket of blue
Covered with heaven above
Let's dream a dream of love for two
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
Under a blanket of blue

The last line ties back to the title, saying they want to be "under a blanket of blue" which acts as a metaphor for protection or a shield from the world outside.
