Blue Eyes
Composer(s): Elton John; Gary Osborne
Originally performed by: Elton John
Covered by various other artists



Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
When the morning comes
I'll be far away
And I say

Blue eyes
Holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Baby's got blue eyes
And she's alone again

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes
I love blue eyes
When I'm by her side
Where I long to be
I will see

Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I am home, and I am home again

Hello And Goodbye
Composer(s): Elmer Bernstein - Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman
Performer(s): Jill Ireland



Some have a lifetime, some just a day
Love isn't something you measure that way
Nothing's ever forever, forever's a lie
All we have is between hello and goodbye

It's not how long the spring, it's not how wide the sky
It's just how sweet the time between hello and goodbye

The music has ended, I still hear the song
Our moment was brief, but our kisses were long
Though the loving is over, the love of you stays
And the memory will warm me the rest of my days

It's not how long the spring, it's not how wide the sky
It's just how sweet the time between hello and goodbye

We never shared September or watched the colors of fall
But in that wink of time we had, we knew we had it all

It's not how long the spring, it's not how wide the sky
It's just how sweet the time between hello and goodbye

Blue Eyed Elaine
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
John Prine; Justin Tubb



Side by side we’ll roll along, sweetheart you and I
And to you, I’ll sing this song as the years go passin’ by
Times maybe good or they maybe bad, but you never frown
I couldn’t find a sweeter pal if I searched the whole world round

Blue Eyed Elaine
You’re the sweetest thing and I love you so
And you’ll always be the same no matter where we go
We’ll travel here, we’ll travel there and we will never part
You’ll always be my Blue Eyed Elaine and I’ll be your sweetheart

When skies are gray and things go wrong
We’ll never fret nor sigh But we’ll just keep travin’ on 
With our heads held up high
And when I gaze into your eyes your heart and soul I’ll claim
Then you’ll know the reason why 
I love you Blue Eyed Elaine

Blue Eyed Elaine
You’re the sweetest thing and I love you so
And you’ll always be the same no matter where we go
We’ll travel here, we’ll travel there and we will never part
You’ll always be my Blue Eyed Elaine and I’ll be your sweetheart

Sway Me
Composer(s): Al Hoffman - Dick Manning
Performer(s): Ella Mae Morse



Sway me, hold me, kiss me tonight!

Sway me, oh sway me tonight
Speak softly while holding me tight
Convince me (just convince me)
That we have the right (that we have the right)
To love, to love

Sway me with kisses
And teach me to care
For this is
My first love affair
My darling, my heart is afraid (my heart is afraid)
But I can be swayed by you!

Sway me with kisses (I wanna be kissed)
And teach me to care (I wanna be kissed)
For this is (I wanna be loved)
My first love affair (I wanna be loved)
But darling, my heart is afraid (my heart is afraid)
But I can be swayed by you!

Blue Evening
Composer(s): Gordon Jenkins; Joe Bishop
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and various other artists



Blue evening comes at the close of day
Blue evening, spent in the same old way
My future looks as dark as the sky above me
There must be someone here in this world who loves me
A sweet love song, would be so grand to know
But my love songs are all from the radio
Another dawn is waiting for me, another day and then
Another blue evening again

Blue Eden
Composer(s): Ralph Molina; Frank "Pancho" Sampedro;
Billy Talbot; Neil Young
Performer(s): Neil Young & Crazy Horse



Embracing
distorting
supporting
comforting
Convincing you
consoling you
Controlling you
destroying you
All over you

I know someday we'll meet again
We come and go that way my friend
It's part of me, it's part of you

You feel invincible
it's just a part of life

You feel invincible
it's just a part of life

Blue Destiny
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



Once you were mine, and you wanted the whole world to know
Now ev’rytime I’m around, you’ve got somewhere to go
I ask my heart ev’ry day
“Can there be some other way?”
Tell me, what can I do to change my blue destiny?

First, you decide that our love will always be true
Next thing I know, you’re running with somebody new
Once you were mine alone
Now you’re just someone I’ve known
Tell me, what can I do to change my blue destiny?

And there were times when love was new
And both our hearts were gay
But now the signs say we’re through and
Bound for separate ways
And how can you love when your love doesn’t want you at all?
Girl, when you turn me away, got my back to the wall

Still, I forgive all your lies, ‘cause darlin’, I realize
That it’s you, only you, can change my blue destiny
Baby, you, only you, can change my blue destiny

Blue Days, Black Nights
Composer(s): Ben Hall
Originally performed by: Buddy Holly
Covered by various other artists



Blue days - black nights
blue tears keep on fallin' - for you dear
now you're gone
blue days - black nights
my heart keeps on calling for you dear
and you alone

Memories of you make me sorry
I gave you reason to doubt me
but now you're gone and I am left here all alone
with blue memories - I think of you

Blue days - black nights
I didn't realize I would miss you
the way I do
and now somehow I know I will pay
for the times I have made you blue

Blue Darlin'
Composer(s): Leslie Lyle; Jimmy C. Newman
Performer(s): Jimmy C. Newman
and various other artists



I was a fool, broke ev'ry rule, blue darlin'
I saw the tears take the place of your sweet smile
I played it smart, broke your heart, blue darlin'
And lost the only love in life worthwhile

So please, please forgive me
I'm so sorry for the wrong that I've done
My heart would cry, if ever I should lose you
Blue darlin', you're the only, only one

Blue Condition
Composer(s): Ginger Baker
Performer(s): Cream



Don't take the wrong direction passing through
Instead of deep reflection of what's true
For it's a combination of judgments made by you
That cause a deep dejection all the way through

No relaxation, no conversation, no variation
In a very dark blue, blue condition

Early rising every day
You must be enterprising in your way
For you will hear no laughter, nor see the sun
Life would be one disaster all the way through

Chorus

Don't take the wrong direction passing through
Instead of deep reflection of what's true
For it's a combination of judgments made by you
That cause a deep dejection all the way through

Blue Collar Man 
Composer(s): Tommy Shaw
Performer(s): Styx
and various other artists



Give me a job give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God I'm hardly alive
My mother 'n father, my wife and my friends
You've seen them laugh in my face
But I've got the power and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye on the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not

I'll take those long night, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all night to be just who I am
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Keeping my mind on a better life
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away 
Paradise can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
(repeat chorus)

Blue Collar
Composer(s): C.F. Turner
Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive;
BTO Spider; Randy Bachman



Walk your street 
And I'll walk mine
And should we meet
Would you spare me some time

'Cause you should see my world
Meet my kind
Before you judge our minds

Blue collar

Sleep your sleep
I'm awake and alive
I keep late hours
Your nine to five

So I would like you know I need the quiet hours
To create in this world of mine

Blue collar

I'd like you to know at four in the morning
Things are coming mine
All I've seen, all I've done
And those I hope to find

I'd like to remind you at four in the morning
My world is very still
The air is fresh under diamond skies
Makes me glad to be alive

You keep that beat
And I keep time
Your restless face
Is no longer mine

I rest my feet
While the world's in heat
And I wish that you could do the same

Blue Clear Sky

Performer(s): George Strait;
Bob DiPiero; Halfpints; Ranch Hands



You swear you've had enough
You're ready to give up
On that little lie they call love
Then out of the blue clear sky

Fallin' right into your hands
Like rain on the desert sand
It's the last thing you had planned
Out of the blue clear sky

Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I've been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky

Ain't love a funny thing
One day you're givin' up the dream
And the next you're pickin' out a ring
Out of the blue clear sky

Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I've been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky

Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I've been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky

Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I've been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky

Out of the blue clear sky

Blue Champagne
Composer(s): Frank Ryerson; Grady Watts; Jimmy Eaton
Performer(s): Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey
and various other artists



3 a.m.
Nowhere else to go
It's 3 a.m. and I miss you so
Couples are departing soon they'll all be gone
Now another day is starting
Still I linger on with

Blue Champagne
Purple shadows and blue champagne
With the echoes that still remain
I keep a blue rendezvous

Bubbles rise
Like a fountain before my eyes
And they suddenly crystallize
To form a vision of you

All the plans we started, all the songs we sang
Each little dream we knew
Seems to overtake me
Like a boomerang
Blue is the sparkle, gone is the tang

It's your refrain,
Keeps returning, as I remain
With all the memories and blue champagne
To toast the dream that was you
I'm bluer than blue champagne

He will sing a sweet lullaby
He will try to chase your blues away
So please sweetheart, don’t cry

Blue canary, don’t feel so blue
For I know just what to do
It won’t take long to sing this song
And then fly home to you

Blue Blues
Composer(s): Bessie Smith 
Performer(s): Bessie Smith



Blue, blue, I got a tale to tell you, I'm blue
Something comes over me, daddy, and I'm blue about you
Listen to my story, and ev'rything'll come out true

When your man is gone, your rent is all due,
he's not coming back, you know he's all thru
You weep and cry, feel like you could die
If you was a bird you'd take wings and fly

There is one thing that'll make you blue
When you ain't got a daddy to tell your troubles to
Step right out and sing, start right in to wing
Keep feelin' in your heart, you start right in to drink

If you've ever been blue, you know a woman feels
If you've ever been blue, you know a good woman feels
You're a worried child, honey, yes indeed

Blue, blue, I got a tale to tell you, I was blue
Something fell on me, daddy, I was blue over you
You done listen to my story, and ev'rything come out true

Blue Blue Day
Composer(s): Don Gibson
Originally performed by: Don Gibson
Covered by various other artists



It's been a blue blue day, I feel like running away 
I feel like running away from it all 
My love has been untrue, she's found somebody new 
It's been a blue blue day for me 
I feel like crying, dying, what can I do 
I feel like playing, saying I'm glad we're through 
It's been a blue blue day, I feel like running away 
I feel like running away from the blues 

How can I make believe, that I don't sit and grieve 
It's been a blue blue day for me 
I can't pretend and say, that I don't love her anyway 
It's been a blue blue day for me 
I feel like crying, dying, what can I do 
I feel like praying, saying I'm glad we're through 
It's been a blue blue day, I feel like running away 
I feel like running away from the blues

I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
Workin' till the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
That familiar sunrise thru sleepy eyes how happy I'd be

Oh, to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Ah, that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou

Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro



Blue Autumn
Falling leaves of red and gold
Pretty colours, I am told
But I see only shades of blue
Because I'm losing you
Blue Autumn
There's a rainbow in the sky
But no matter how I try
I still see only shades of blue
Because I'm losing you

Such pretty colours I am told
There for all to see
But falling leaves of red and gold have autumn blue to me

Blue Autumn
A love like yours I'll never know
Other girls may come and go
But I'll see only shades of you
And all my Autumns will be blue

Blue Autumn
A love like yours I'll never know
Other girls may come and go
But I'll see only shades of you
And all my Autumns will be blue

Blue Asian Reds
Composer(s): Terry Allen
Performer(s): Terry Allen



Yeah she got them red eyes
Ahhh from doin the red pills
And she says it's for the high times
Yeah she says it's for thrills
So she does reds...with her coffee
With her pepsi's and her gin
And she says it really does her out fine
But...it's just doin her in
You see...She lost her soldier boy
Over in Nam
And she found out a year ago Wednesday
When after work...she come home
And she read his latest letter
That said
Never again...would he leave her alone
But beside hit...the telegram
That said he was gone
Ohhh she cried and she cried
Yeah...for nearly a year
Then I guess she just lost the will to live
Like she lost that soldier...so dear
'Cause she just traded in all that sadness
And all of her fears
For a bottle...marked heartache
Full of little red tears
Yeah she got them red eyes
Ahhh from doin the red pills
And she says it's for the high times
Yeah she says it's for thrills
So she does reds...with her coffee
With her pepsi's and her gin
And she says it really does her out fine
But...it's just doin' her in
