paroles de chanson Blue River - Al Jolson

Birds in the trees, and a song on the breeze
Blue River, why are you blue
Light of the moon, and the starlight in view
Must they bring sadness to you?

Must you sing of days gone by?
Must you always sigh
Tell me why your song is sad, never glad
Blue River, Blue River
Do you hold the memory of a vanished dream?

Sing to me of lips I've pressed and caressed
Blue River, Blue River
'Til I saw my hopes go drifting down your stream

Can we both forget the night
Summer night in a little canoe?
When her blue eyes lost their light as we whispered adieu

When I hear your lonesome song, something's wrong
Blue River, Blue River
Maybe it's because I'm just as blue as you

Tell me why your song is sad, never glad
Blue River, Blue River
Do you hold the memory of a vanished dream, dream, vanished dream

Sing to me of lips I've pressed and caressed
Blue River
'Til I saw my hopes go drifting down your stream

Can we both forget the night
Summer night in a little canoe?
When her blue eyes lost their light
And we whispered adieu, I said adieu-dieu-dieu

When I hear your lonesome song, something's wrong
Blue River
Maybe it's because I'm just as blue as you
