A BEAUTIFUL LADY IN BLUE
(Sam M. Lewis / J. Fred Coots)

Recorded by : Putney Dandridge; Jan Garber; Jan Peerce; Billy Vaughn.


Ev'ryone loves a love story
Told of a maid and a man
But listen to my love story,
It ended before it began.

REFRAIN
A beautiful lady in blue,
We met just like two shadows do,
Not one word was said, she kiss'd me and fled
And our little romance was thro'.

A beautiful lady in blue,
She thought I was someone she knew,
Her lips so divine Were not meant for mine,
The night seem'd to laugh at us too.

How did I know she was lovely?
There wan't a moonbeam a-glow.
How would I know there's a haven
Unles my heart told me so?

A beautiful lady in blue,
And strange as it may sound to you,
A lifetime was spent in one little moment
With a beautiful lady in blue.
