When a Love Song Sings the Blues
Melancholy Melodies: When Love's Tune Echoes the Blues
Lyrics
I see you waiting in the shadows
I perceive you lurking in the background
Wonderin' where I've been
Curious about where I've been
Dusty old piano, it's you and me again
A dusty old piano symbolizes a reunion between me and this instrument
My old friend
Referring to the piano as a dear companion
I'll just have to chance a few lines
I have to take a risk with my words
Now that we're alone
Now that we are in private
All that happiness, those silly rhymes
Past joy and lighthearted verses seem out of place since he's no longer present
They just don't seem at home now that he's gone
Reflecting on the absence of happiness and the impact of his departure
So make it sad, so sad
Expressing the need for a melancholic tone
Like "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Referencing classic sad songs like "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Cause it's sad when a love song sings the blues
Highlighting the sorrowful nature when a love song embodies the blues
I see my reflection on the black keys
Observing my reflection on the piano keys
Where the tears fell from my eyes
Where tears have fallen from my eyes
I want to play out every memory
Expressing a desire to relive every memory through music
Every last goodbye
Recalling each farewell
Till the whole world cries
Intending to evoke widespread emotional response through the music
So make it sad, so sad
Reiterating the need for a sorrowful tone in the music
Like "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Recalling the reference to "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Cause it's sad when a love song sings the blues
Reemphasizing the sadness when a love song embodies the blues
And I don't want to cry alone
Expressing a reluctance to experience sadness alone
Make it sad, so sad
Reiterating the call for a sorrowful tone in the music
Like "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Referring again to the sadness of songs like "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Cause it's sad when a love song sings the blues
Reemphasizing the melancholy when a love song embodies the blues
And it's sad when a love song sings the blues
Reiterating the overarching theme of sorrow in love songs
