Girl Blue
Will Downing & Gerald Albright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello morning, good, good morning to the one I love
Crystal ringlets paint a picture of a gold sunrise above

Little girl you're sad though all you have
Is visible to you within your heart
There stays a part that like the sky is blue

Shifting breezes, grace the inner spectrum of your glance
Leaves on branches, for your pleasure, perform a soothing dance

Little girl it seems in all my dreams your happiness is due
But still they last there in your past, events that make you blue

Thoughts of love are in your mind
Yet splintered hopes push them aside
A look at life is what you need to try, oh, oh

Thoughts of love are in your mind
Yet splintered hopes push them aside
A look at life is what you need to try





Little girl, little girl, little girl

Overall Meaning

The song's opening lines, "Hello morning, good, good morning to the one I love / Crystal ringlets paint a picture of a gold sunrise above," serve as a greeting to a woman who is metaphorically compared to a sunrise. The "crystal ringlets" evoke imagery of sparkling rays of sunlight. The singer acknowledges the woman's sadness, despite the beauty that surrounds her, and emphasizes the fact that the sadness lies within her heart. There is a part of her, like the clear blue sky, that is pure and unblemished.


The second verse describes the intricate beauty of nature surrounding the woman, as the leaves on the branches dance with the shifting breezes, providing her with a soothing sensation. The singer reassures her that her dreams and desires for happiness will eventually manifest themselves but acknowledges the lasting effects of past events that make her feel sad. Despite these "splintered hopes" that push her thoughts of love aside, the singer urges her to look at life with new eyes and a fresh perspective.


Overall, "Girl Blue" is a song that encourages the listener to find a sense of optimism within themselves despite the difficulties they might have experienced. It recognizes the power of nature's beauty to soothe the soul and acknowledges the importance of looking at life with a renewed sense of positivity.
