Stevie Ann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
given no time for anything else
then walk this path all alone
save your own tears for yourself
you don't need anyone to love or help
I've been telling myself all these lies and more
flying so high with your arms open wide
I couldn't believe someone new
could make me feel the way I do
Oh just a tale, has to be told by me
I'm gonna make it better and more exciting
than allready is
over the rainbow and clouds
were you can find peace and relief all the time
but I'm still down here with a tear in my eye
can't reach out, can't fly like a bird
I'll just have to wait for my turn
but baby look, that’s love
right in front of your eyes
and then there was you, baby blue
holding me close in your arms
saying words that I hope to remember till the day I die
Oh it’s just a tale, has to be told by us
we're gonna make it better and more exciting than it
oh it 's just a tale has to be told by us
we're gonna make it better and more exciting
we're gonna make it better and more exciting
we're gonna make it better
The lyrics in Stevie Ann's song "Baby Blue" encapsulate the feelings of a person who has been too strong for themselves and has given no time for anything else but to walk down a lonely path. The singer is trying to reassure themselves that they don't need anyone to love or help them and has been telling themselves all these lies and more. However, when there is a shift in their life and they meet someone new, "baby blue," the person is flying so high with their arms open wide, it's hard for the singer to believe that someone new could make them feel a certain way.
The singer then takes the listener on a ride through a world over the rainbow and clouds, where there is peace and relief all the time, and while the person is still down with a tear in their eye, they can't quite reach out or fly like a bird. The perspective then shifts towards the person they've met, baby blue, who holds them close in their arms, saying words that the singer hopes to remember till the day they die. The end of the song points to the fact that together, they can make the tale of their love better and more exciting, leaving the door open for the listener's interpretation of whether they will eventually make it over the rainbow.
