Baby Blue
Lost Love's Echo: Baby Blue's Poignant Tale
Lyrics
She wrote me today
Receiving a letter/message from the woman
That she won't come back to stay
She won't return permanently
That she'll only come to pick
She'll only come to collect her belongings
Up her clothes
Reference to her personal items
She wrote
Continuation of the letter
I must not cry
Advice not to cry
That a love for me has died
Confirmation of love's demise
But she'd found somebody else
She has found another person
I suppose
Acceptance or acknowledgment
Baby blue
Repetition of the emotional state and desire for the person (Baby Blue)
Baby blue
-Do you know
-That I'm still in love with you
-Now I know
-That you won't be here no more
-How I need you
-How I want you
-Baby blue
-How I need you
-How I want you
-Baby blue
-I know
Acknowledgment of the need to forget
I must forget
Recalling good times and the difficulty of forgetting
All the good times we had
Reference to the past shared experiences
But I know
Acknowledgment of difficulty in forgetting
That I can't
Expressing the impossibility of forgetting
Forget you
Emphasizing persistent thoughts of the person
You're still on my mind
The person is still on the singer's mind
And I know I can't find
Searching for someone similar to "Baby Blue"
Such a girl
Expressing the uniqueness and endearment of "Baby Blue"
As my sweet
-Baby blue
-Baby blue
Repetition of emotional state and desire for "Baby Blue"
Baby blue
-Do you know
-That I'm still in love with you
-Now I know
-That you won't be here no more
-How I need you
-How I want you
-Baby blue
-Baby blue
-Baby blue
-Do you know
-That I'm still in love with you
-Now I know
-That you won't be here no more
-How I need you
-How I want you
-Baby blue
-How I need you
-How I want you
-Baby blue
Reiteration of the emotional need and want for "Baby Blue"
