HOW BLUE ?

The Mills Brothers - 1954


How blue is the sky?
How blue is a stream?
How blue is a rain?
How blue is my dream?

How blue is the moon?
How blue is the sea?
How blue is my heart?
We're apart, and the river weeps for me

How blue is the sky?
It's very blue
How blue is the stream?
Blue, very blue
How blue is the rain?
It's hazy blue
How blue is my dream?
It's crazy blue

How blue is the moon?
It's moony blue
How blue is the sea?
Lagoony blue
How blue is my heart?
We're apart, and the river weeps for me

-Instrumental Interlude-

In the end of twon
Where I wandered down
I first met you
And I let you
Steal my heart one day
Then you sailed away
How I sighed, and cried
Because I know you won't return

How blue is the sky?
It's blarney blue
How blue is the stream?
Real gawdy blue
How blue is the rain?
It's bluest blue
How blue is my dream?
St. Louis blue

How blue is the moon?
It's bright and blue
How blue is the sea?
Red, white and blue
How blue is my heart?
We're apart, and the river weeps for me!
