Singing The Blues Poem by Gayle Sweeney

Singing the blues is a way to say I love you.
When we went from shore to shore
We didn't know what was in store
On the road far from our home.
We were glad though sometimes we felt so all alone.
Singing the blues is a way to say I love you!
I still now hear the sweet song
During some starry summer nights -
A soft lullaby
Of a bird who sang in the blue swinging sun light.
Singing the blues is a way to say I love you.
We wanted out in the world
For the happiest days to soon come -
Shining days when we wouldn't be lonesome.
Our dreams are glistening, pure pearls in the bright sun.
Singing the blues is a way to say I love you!
