Am I blue?  
Am I blue?  
Ain’t these tears in my eyes telling you?

Almost blue  
Almost doing things we used to do  
There’s a girl here and she’s almost you

Blue, don’t forget the word I warned you,  
Oh Blue, don’t let them push you, don’t let them destroy you,  
Meanwhile, I’m searching with my brain blown eyes,  
See the world through my dirty lonely mixed up mind.

How I love my coat of many colours  
It was red and yellow and green and brown  
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach  
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn  
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve  
And cream and crimson and silver and rose  
And azure and lemon and russet and grey  
And purple and white and pink and orange  
And red and yellow and green and brown and  
Scarlet and black and ochre and peach  
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn  
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve  
And cream and crimson and silver and rose  
And azure and lemon and russet and grey  
And purple and white and pink and orange  
And blue

Why are there so many songs about rainbows  
And what’s on the other side?

There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow  
More precious than a pot of gold.

‘Twas a sumptuous gift  
To bequeath to a child.  
Oh the lure of that song  
Kept her feet funnin’ wild.  
For you never grow old  
And you never stand still,  
With whippoorwills singin’  
Beyond the next hill.

Look, look  
Look to the rainbow.  
Follow it over the hill  
And the stream.  
Look, look  
Look to the rainbow.  
Follow the fellow  
Who follows a dream

I could go on singing till the cows come home  
And the rooster starts to crow, crow, crow  
When I see your eyes, I go all out  
I must vocalize till you shout, “Enough already”

Of thee I sing, baby-  
Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby.  
You’re my silver lining,  
You’re my sky of blue;  
There’s a love light shining  
All because of you.

Of thee I sing baby-  
You have got that certain thing, baby!  
Shining star and inspiration,  
Worthy of a mighty nation-  
Of thee I sing!

Sing the song that sent you here  
Sing your heart out

But with a different meaning since you been gone  
It’s the same, same old song  
But with a different meaning (Since you been gone)  
And it breaks me up to hear it

Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home  
We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night  
Would it turn out right  
Now as the years roll on  
Each time we hear our favorite song  
The memories come along  
Older times we’re missing  
Spending the hours reminiscing

When I was young I’d listen to the radio  
Waitin’ for my favorite songs  
Then they played I’d sing along, it made me smile

Those were such happy times and not so long ago  
How I wondered where they’d gone  
But they’re back again just like a long lost friend  
All the songs I loved so well

Pilot of the airwaves,  
Here is my request.  
You don’t have to play it.  
But I hope you’ll do your best.  
I’ve been listening to your show on the radio  
And you seem like a friend to me.

Please, Mr., please, don’t play B-17  
It was our song, it was his song, but it’s over  
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean  
I don’t ever wanna hear that song again

My Captain Von Ondine, here’s your next patrol  
A flight of English bombers across the canal  
After twelve, they’ll all be here  
I think you know the job

Absolutely nothing.
