Love Is Blue
Vicky Leandros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world, now I'm without you
Grey, grey, my life is grey
Cold is my heart, since you went away

Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you, alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you, and now we're apart

When we met, how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you, so lost and alone
Gone, gone, the love we knew
Blue is my world, now I'm without you

Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you, alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you, and now we're apart

When we met, how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you, so lost and alone
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world, now I'm without you

Grey, grey, my life is grey
Cold is my heart, since you went away
Blue, blue, my world is blue




Blue is my world, now I'm without you
Blue is my world, now I'm without you

LOVE IS BLUE LYRICS
Music: André Popp
Lyrics: Brian Blackburn

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world, now I’m without you
Grey, grey, my life is grey
Cold is my heart since you went away

Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we’re apart

When we met, how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Black, black, the nights I’ve known
Longing for you, so lost and alone
Gone, gone, the love we knew
Blue is my world, now I’m without you

Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we’re apart

When we met, how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Black, black, the nights I’ve known
Longing for you, so lost and alone
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world, now I’m without you

Grey, grey, my life is grey
Cold is my heart since you went away
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world, now I’m without you

Blue is my world, now I’m without you
