Rhapsody in Blue
Si Zentner 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
Si Zentner's song Rhapsody in Blue is a beautiful melody that transports the listener away to another world, much like the lyrics to the song Serenade in Blue. The singer of the song is reminiscing about a past relationship, where he and his partner used to enjoy the pleasures of life together. The Serenade in Blue serves as a trigger that takes the singer back in time, and he finds himself lost in his memories, alone with his past love once more.
The nostalgia that the song inspires is palpable, and it's clear that the singer is deeply affected by the memories that come flooding back to him. He is transported to a small cafe, where he and his partner danced the night away, declaring their love and promising to be together forever. However, as time went by, the passion they once shared dwindled until it was nothing more than a distant memory.
