Bluer Than Blue
Rolf Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La la la la la la
Not so long ago
I was on my own
A lonely heart
Without a home
I remember when
Before you came my way
I was bluer than blue
What did you do
To make me
Change my mind
I was bluer than blue
I looked at you
And left my blues behind
I can see you now
As you were that night
Your tender smile
Your eyes so bright
Walkin' in the rain
And I didn't care
As long as you were there
Yes, I was bluer than blue
What did you do
To make me
Change my mind
I was bluer than blue
I looked at you
And left my blues behind
Those lonely nights
Are over now
Those days of emptiness
Please forgive me
I can't hide
These tears of happiness
I was bluer than blue
What did you do
To make me
Change my mind
I was bluer than blue
I looked at you
And left my blues behind
Yes, I was bluer than blue
What did you do
To make me
Change my mind
I was bluer than blue
I looked at you
And left my blues behind

Not so long ago
Recently, but not in the distant past
I was on my own
I was alone, without any companionship
A lonely heart
My heart was longing for someone to love
Without a home
I felt like I didn't belong anywhere
I remember when
I recall a time in my life
All the skies were grey
Everything seemed bleak and hopeless
Before you came my way
Before I met you
I was bluer than blue
I was extremely sad and depressed
What did you do
What action did you take
To make me
To cause me
Change my mind
To alter my feelings or opinion
I looked at you
I saw you, observed you
And left my blues behind
And my sadness disappeared
I can see you now
I remember you in my mind's eye
As you were that night
As you appeared on that specific evening
Your tender smile
Your kind and gentle expression
Your eyes so bright
Your eyes were shining and full of life
Walkin' in the rain
Strolling outdoors while it was raining
And I didn't care
I didn't mind getting wet or being uncomfortable
As long as you were there
Because you were with me
Those lonely nights
Those long and quiet evenings
Are over now
They belong to the past
Those days of emptiness
Those periods of time when I felt incomplete
Please forgive me
I'm asking you to pardon me
I can't hide
It's impossible for me to conceal
These tears of happiness
I'm crying tears of joy
What did you do
What action did you take
And left my blues behind
And my sadness disappeared
