When I hear that serenade in
blue
I'm somewhere in another world,
alone with you
Sharing all the joys we used to
know, many moons ago.
Once again your face comes back
to me
Just like the theme of some
forgotten melody
In the album of my memory,
serenade in blue
It seems like only yesterday,
the small cafe, a crowded floor
And as we danced the night away,
I hear you say forever more
And then the song became a sigh
Forever more became goodbye
Cause you remained in my heart,
but
Tell me darling in there still a
spark?
Or only lonely ashes of the
flame we knew
Should I go on whistling in the
dark, serenade in blue.
