After taking a brief recording hiatus in the mid-1990s to start a family with her husband, songwriter Doug Crider, Bogguss returned to the country music scene to find that her charting power had already faded. Although she last appeared on the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart in 1999, Bogguss continues to record and perform around the country to a loyal following.
Her most recent recordings have ventured into swing and jazz variations of country. These albums really showcase the tremendous talent in her voice. Suzy is a true singer, and her voice has so much versatility.
In 2014, Suzy added an album of Merle Haggard songs entitled "Lucky". The country & western flavor dominates this album, unlike some of her other recent work. To promote this new album, Suzy has embarked on a nationwide tour.
Blue Days
Suzy Bogguss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are times when I think I'm in this world alone
There are days, when I let it all get to me
Then I turn to you and you smile that smile
Through the eyes of love
It's all worth while
And those blue days
Turn to new days once again
There are times you know I tend to worry
Little things from my mind
And they get all over me
And I dont believe
I'll ever see that sunrise
But then morning comes and you awake
And I see the sunshine on your face
And those blue days
Turn to new days once again
In your eyes I see reflections of the woman
That I'd like to be
You're always there for me
When blue days come along
Looking back and all the storms we weathered
You were always my umbrella in the rain
Standing strong for the worse or better
I just turn to you and you smile that smile
Through the eyes of love
It's all worth while
And those blue days
Turn to new days once again
Yes those blue days
Turn to new days once again
The Suzy Bogguss song “Blue Days” is a testament to the transformative power of love in the midst of personal struggles. The lyrics touch on feeling alone, worrying about trivial things, and being uncertain about the future. Bogguss portrays the depths of her emotions by using the color blue as a metaphor that describes her sadness, loneliness and anxiety. The refrain in the song, “And those blue days turn to new days once again” evokes the sense of renewal and hope that comes from having someone to lean on during tough times.
The main theme of the song is the power of love to heal and transform, and Bogguss uses the image of sunrise as a metaphor for this transformation. While she might feel like she will never see the sunrise because of her worries, she knows that with the support of her lover, she will experience the sunrise of a new day. She sings about the power of love to calm her during storms and be her umbrella in the rain, punctuating this with the refrain about those blue days turning into new days. The message is clear: the power of love can bring light to even the darkest days, and with someone to rely on, even the greatest odds can be overcome.
The song “Blue Days” by Suzy Bogguss was released in 1993 and appeared on her album “Something Up My Sleeve.” It was written by Tom Shapiro, Chris Waters, and Bogguss herself.

There are times when I get to lonely
I feel lonely at certain times
There are times when I think I'm in this world alone
Sometimes I feel like nobody is there for me
There are days, when I let it all get to me
Some days I get overwhelmed by my emotions
Then I turn to you and you smile that smile
But then I look at you and you smile at me
Through the eyes of love
Your smile shows me that you love me
It's all worth while
It makes everything worth it
And those blue days
Those sad days
Turn to new days once again
Becomes happier days again
There are times you know I tend to worry
You know that I tend to worry at times
Little things from my mind
Small things that are on my mind
And they get all over me
They start to bother me
And I dont believe
I start to lose hope
I'll ever see that sunrise
That things will get better
But then morning comes and you awake
But then I wake up to see you in the morning
And I see the sunshine on your face
And I see how happy you are
In your eyes I see reflections of the woman
I see a reflection of the person I want to be
That I'd like to be
That I aspire to be
You're always there for me
I know that you are always there for me
When blue days come along
When I am feeling sad
Looking back and all the storms we weathered
When I look back at all the tough times we went through together
You were always my umbrella in the rain
You were always there to protect me during hard times
Standing strong for the worse or better
You were always strong for me, no matter what
Yes those blue days
Yes, those sad days
Turn to new days once again
Becomes happier days again
