Blue Rose Is
Composer(s): Jan Buckingham; Bob DiPiero; Pam Tillis
Performer(s): Pam Tillis



Her lips and her dress
They're both ruby red
She thinks that's how you hide
The pain you feel inside
And she comes out every night
To soak-up the neon light
Her perfume fills the air
People stop and stare

But Blue Rose is looking for the moon in someone's eyes
Blue Rose is willing to believe in someone's lies
Blue Rose's petals have been crushed along the way
Oh Blue Rose is just growing bluer everyday

One more drink, one more dance
You might be her only chance
She needs someone to hold
When the night is growing old
And if you don't mind the thorns
She'll take you in and keep you warm
Lyin' in the dark
In a bed of broken hearts

But Blue Rose is looking for the moon in someone's eyes
Blue Rose is willing to believe in someone's lies
Blue Rose's petals have been crushed along the way
Oh Blue Rose is just growing bluer everyday

and various other artists



Birds in the trees
And a song on the breeze
Blue river, why are you blue

Light of the Moon
And the starlight in view
Must they bring sadness to you

Must you sing of days gone by
Must you always sigh

Tell me why your song is sad, never glad
Blue River, blue river
Do you hold the memory
Of a vanished dream

Sing to me of lips I've pressed and caressed
Blue river, blue river
Till I saw my hopes
Go drifting down your stream

Can we both forget the night
Summer night, in a little canoe
When her blue eyes lost their light
As we whispered "adieu"

When I hear your lonesome song
Something's wrong
Blue River, blue river
Maybe it's because I'm just as blue as you

Tell me why your song is sad, never glad
Blue river, blue river
Do you hold the memory
Of a vanished dream, dream, vanished dream

Sing to me of lips I've pressed and caressed
Blue river
Till I saw my hopes
Go drifting down your stream

Can we both forget the night
Summer night, in a little canoe
When her blue eyes lost their light
And we whispered "adieu", I said adieu-dieu-dieu

When I hear your lonesome song
Something's wrong
Blue river
Maybe it's because I'm just as blue as you

Blue River
Composer(s): Paul Evans; Frederick Tobias
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Blue river, it can't be found on any map that I know
But it's the place where lonely lovers all go
To cry their tears, blue river
It winds along a path of heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from lovin' someone in vain
Like I loved you, and baby I still do
I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I'm feelin' so low
But I gotta go
Blue river because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Cryin' over you, by the river of blue

Performer(s): Anita Ellis
and multiple other artists



Amado mio
Love me forever
And let forever begin tonight
Amado mio
When we're together
I'm in a dream world of sweet delight

Many times I've whispered
"Amado mio"
It was just a phrase
That I heard in plays
I was acting a part
But now when I whisper
"Amado mio"
Can't you tell I care
By the feeling there
'Cause it comes from my heart

I want you forever
I love my darling
Wanting to hold you
And hold you tight
Amado mio
Love me forever
And let forever begin tonight 

Blue Ridge Cabin Home
Composer(s): Louise Certain; Gladys Stacey
Performer(s): Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs
and various other artists



There's a well-beaten path on this old mountain side
Where I wandered when I was a lad
And I wandered alone to the place I called home
In those Blue Ridge hills far away

Oh, I love those hills of old Virginia
From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam
When I die, won't you bury me on the mountain
Far away near my Blue Ridge mountain home

How my thoughts wander back to that ramshackle shack
In those Blue Ridge hills far away
Where my Mother and Dad are laid there to rest
They are sleeping in peace together there

Oh, I love those hills of old Virginia
From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam
When I die, won't you bury me on the mountain
Far away near my Blue Ridge mountain home

I return to that old cabin home with a sigh
I've a longing for days gone by
When I die, won't you bury me on that old mountain side
Make my resting place upon the hills so high

Oh, I love those hills of old Virginia
From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam
When I die, won't you bury me on the mountain
Far away near my Blue Ridge mountain home

Love Me To Pieces
Composer(s): Melvin Endsley
Performer(s): Jill Corey
and multiple other artists



Why don't you love me to pieces, baby
Squeeze me 'til I'm crazy
Hold me the way you used to do

You know that my love is growin' stronger
And I can't wait no longer
Been saving my love just for you

Hold me, thrill me, squeeze me so tight
Miss me, kiss me, all day and night

Why don't you love me to pieces, darlin'
No use in us quarreling
I only need your loving arms

You know that I'm plumb mad about you
I couldn't live without you
I'm just wild about your charms

Why don't you love me to pieces, baby
Squeeze me 'til I'm crazy
Hold me the way you used to do

You know that my love is growin' stronger
And I can't wait no longer
Been saving my love just for you

Why don't you love me to pieces, honey
Squeeze me 'til it ain't funny
Give me the kisses that I crave

You know that I'll never ever leave you
And I'll never ever grieve you
You know that I want to be your slave

Blue Rain
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and various other artists



Blue Rain, falling down on my window pane
But when you return there'll be a rainbow
After the blue, blue rain
And there's a blue star
Looking down asking where you are
But when you return there'll be a sunbeam
Hiding the blue, blue star
Skies will be much brighter than they were before
When you and love come strolling through the door
Then there'll be no more blue rain
Just the sound of my heart's refrain
Singing like a million little blue birds
After the blue, blue rain

Blue Orpheus
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren
Performer(s): Todd Rundgren



If you want to cry
You can always find something to cry about
It's so easy to be wise
Over someone else's tears
But you have a gift
That the rest of us can't live without
And it's something in your voice
When you tell us how you feel

'Cause we've all loved something and lost it
And it's burning my heart
I can't open my mouth and just let it out

But when I hear my blue Orpheus sing
I know that life is a wonderful thing 
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I know life is a wonderful thing

Seems so long ago
That the sound of your joy filled the atmosphere
We can make it on our own
But the road is so rocky and steep
And when you feel lost
No one tells you what you need to hear
And the only dream you have is the one that's in your sleep

'Cause we soon forget what weÕre here for
I need someone to say he's got dreams of his own
I'll know I'm not alone

I want to hear my blue Orpheus sing
I'll know that life is a wonderful thing
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I know life is a wonderful thing

Sing
You will one day be together again
Though you cannot see her
Sing
She's somewhere in the world

Blue Orchids
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and various other artists



I dreamed of two blue orchids
Two beautiful blue orchids
One night while in my lonely room
I dreamed of two blue orchids
So full of love and light
That I wanted to possess each tender bloom
Then my dream took wings
And through a thousand springs
Blue orchids seemed in a world apart
But when I met you
Something pale and blue
Came stealing from the meadows of my heart
I saw my two blue orchids
My beautiful blue orchids
Last night and what a sweet surprise
When you looked at me
It was plain to see
Blue orchids only bloom in your eyes

Blue On Blue
Italian Title: Blu È Blu
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Originally performed by: Bobby Vinton 
Covered by various other artists



Chorus:
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue,  heartache on heartache
And I find I can't get over losing you

I walk along the street we used to walk
Two by two, lovers pass
And as they're passing by, I could die
'Cause you're not here with me
Now the trees are bare
There's sadness in the air
And I'm as blue as I can be

Chorus

Night after lonely night, we meet in dreams
As I run to your side
You wait with open arms, open arms
That now are closed to me
Through a veil of tears
Your vision disappears
And I'm as blue as I can be

Chorus.....

Blue Morning, Blue Day
Composer(s): Lou Gramm; Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner; Masi



Out in the street it's 6 am, another sleepless night
Three cups of coffee, but I can't clear my head
from what went down last night
No we won't have our own little ways, but somehow we keep it together
You hear me talk, but you don't hear what I say 
I guess it don't even matter

Chorus:
Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way
Blue morning, can't you see, what your love has done to me
I've always listened to your point of view, my ways are cut through men
And I've always been a patient man, but my patience has reached its end
You tell me you're leaving, you tell me goodbye
You say you might send a letter
Well honey don't telephone, cause I won't be alone
I need someone to make me feel better

chorus

(Blue morning) blue morning, (blue morning) blue morning
(Blue morning) blue morning, blue blue blue day, yeah

Blue Moon With Heartache
Composer(s): Rosanne Cash
Performer(s): Rosanne Cash



Blue moon out my window, guess this means goodnight
And you come in and start right in not treating me right
Misery's a ball and all its company
I'll play the victim for you honey, but not for free

I run into that heartache just like a wall
And act like nothing happened to me, nothing at all
Lately I'm amazed at how blind we can be
Lately even dreamin' feels like old reality

What would I give to be a diamond in your eyes again
What would I give to bring back those old times
What did I say to make your cold heart bleed this way
Maybe I'll just go away today

I don't care who's waiting at my front door
You know that life don't hold no glamour anymore
Oh how can it all look so right and feel so wrong
I'll play the victim for you honey but not for long

What would I give to be a diamond in your eyes again
What would I give to bring back those old times
What did I say to make your cold heart bleed this way
Maybe I'll just go away today

Maybe I'll just go away
Maybe I'll just go away
Maybe I'll just go away to stay

Maybe I'll just go away
Maybe I'll just go away
Maybe I'll just go away

Blue Moon Revisited (Song For Elvis)
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart;
Margo Timmins; Michael Timmins
Performer(s): Cowboy Junkies



I only want to say
That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
'cause he's my true love
My only one don't you see?

And on that fateful day
Perhaps in the new sun of May
My baby walks back into my arms
I'll keep him beside me
Forever from harm

You see I was afraid
To let my baby stray
I kept him too tightly by my side
And then one sad day
He went away and he died

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

I only want to say
That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
'Cause he's my true love
My only one don't you see?

Blue moon, blue moon, blue moon
keep shining bright
Blue moon, keep on shining bright
You're gonna bring me back my baby tonight
Blue moon, keep shining bright

I said blue moon of Kentucky
keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky
keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well, it was on one moonlight night
Stars shining bright
Wish blown high
Love said good-bye

Blue moon of Kentucky
Keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well, I said blue moon of Kentucky
Just keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky
keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well, it was on one moonlight night
Stars shining bright
Wish blown high
Love said good-bye

Blue moon of Kentucky
Keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart 
Without a love of my own 

Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for 

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue Mood
Composer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker
Performer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker



Well I'd already turned the lights out, almost gone to sleep
When a little voice inside me asked, are you all you thought you'd be?

This late night singing's just like dreaming
More like talking to yourself
I don't find many answers, but the music seems to help

It's just a blue mood I'm in, comes every now and then
It's the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees
But it's gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I'll be fine
Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me

I heard they got Suzanna's money, like they stole Fred Neilson's mind
Well, I guess that reinforces music's all we've got sometimes
Life's mostly handshakes and divorces
True blue friends that bend and sway
While the price of living honestly comes harder every day

Chorus

Yeah, I've been recovering from surgery, yea, they took a piece of me
Well, I've been cut much deeper, I always got back on my feet
But with the passing of John Henry, then the loss of Stevie Ray
I see the light of our own time get dimmer every day

Chorus

Blue Monday, how I hate blue Monday
Got to work like a slave all day
Here come Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired, got no time to play
Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard workin' day
And Friday I'll get my pay

Saturday morning, oh Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the town to play
Sunday morning, my head is bad
But it's worth it, for the times that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess

How does it feel to treat me like you do
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, how do I feel

How does it feel, how should I feel
Tell me how does it feel, to treat me like you do

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting...

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold

How does it feel, how should I feel
Tell me how does it feel, to treat me like you do

Blue Moanin'

Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive



Blue moanin', you're down so blue
You do your livin'
And it's what you do
Did you listen to what your daddy say
Or did you find it boring
And just drift away

Blue blue moanin'
It's on it's way to you
Blue blue moanin'
It's really comin' through
You're always right
Til the payment's due
It's due, now you're blue

You go down dancin'
To what they call the grind
You do some relaxin'
Now that you've done your time

When you've done your time
And you think you're through
You find them on your doorstep
Now it's time to move

Blue blue moanin'
It's on it's way to you
Blue blue moanin'
It's really comin' through
You're always right
Til the payment's due
It's due, now you're blue

Blue blue moanin'
It's on it's way to you
You know it's comin'
Blue blue moanin'
It's really comin' through
You're know you're right
Til the payment's due
Now it's due, I find you blue

Blue Lovebird
Performer(s): Kay Kyser



Blue lovebird, your song's a tender thing
That wasn't meant to sing alone
Blue lovebird, still singing for your mate
But it's your fate to wait alone
Once there were two of you singing to the dawn
What can a lovebird do when his love has gone
Blue lovebird, your song becomes a sigh
It seems that lovebirds die alone
