Billie Holiday - AM I BLUE? Lyrics

Harry Akst / Grant Clarke

It was a morning, long before dawn
without a warning I found he was gone
How could he do it
Why should he do it
He never done it before

Am I blue
am I blue
ain't these tears, in these eyes telling you
How can you ask me "am I blue"
why, wouldn't you be too
if each plan
with your man
done fell through

There was a time
when I was his only one
but now I'm
the sad and lonely one...lonely

Was I gay
untill today
now he's gone, and we're through
Am I blue
