Franks, Michael - Mr. Blue Lyrics






We touched like watercolour fawns
In landscapes painted by Cézanne
Like lovers floating painted by Chagall
But you and I were you-I then

We thought the rush would never end
We thought the sky, the sky would never fall
We lived we loved we laughed we cried
We'll never die, and now I think of you
And I change right into Mr Blue

You say your lover buys you lace
I say: "He's fine, I like his face!"
I guess you still think love will conquer all
I know, but it's not what you think
I only hope it stays in-sync
I only want, I want to wish you well

    This song is simply superb. Just awesome imagery. Thank you, Michael - your music is timeless, loved listening to it 40 years ago and still do now.

  6. D.... T....

    HE HAS A SONG OFF THIS CD, THAT CAN SET

    ANY MOOD W/A UNIQUE
    VOICE & STYLE OF HIS OWN.

  7. C.... C....

    @ Mark Chacon: Yeah, buddy. It doesn't get better than this group of musicians...and Michael's voice and lyrics and mind......

  8. T.... ....

    I came here because of the Hi-Lo's and Clare Fischer (keyboards and arranger), who did it fabulously on the "Now" album. But this original is dam hard to improve on! The Hi-Lo's and Clare Fischer are worth hearing as another really high-quality "musicians" interpretation.

    We touched like watercolour fawns
    In landscapes painted by Cezanne
    Like lovers floating painted by Chagall
    But you and I were you-I then
    We thought the rush would never end
    We thought the sky, the sky would never fall
    We lived we loved we laughed we cried
    We'll never die, and now I think of you
    And I change right into Mr Blue

    We lived we loved we laughed we cried
    We'll never die, and now I think of you
    And I change right into Mr Blue

    You say your lover buys you lace
    I say he's fine, I like his face
    I guess you still think love will conquer all
    I know, but it's not what you think
    I only hope it stays in sync
    I only want...
    I want to wish you well

    We lived we loved we laughed we cried
    We'll never die, and now I think of you
    And I change right into Mr Blue

  24. P.... J....

    so anxious - Ginuwine bought me here lol

    P.... J....

    Ron Sabino Jr bye troll

    P.... J....

    Ron Sabino Jr it's not ignorance if i responded kindly to your comment. either way you could have kept scrolling along and listened to this song like others have done. I'm sorry if my comment bothered you that much for you to stop and correct me. Like i have said, "I say as I please, thank you."

    P.... J....

    Porsha Jones actually ignorance just means you're unaware it doesn't mean your being dumb and "ignorance is bliss" is a saying he wasn't insulting you. At the end of the day you were incorrect anyway by saying bought instead of brought your sentence was incorrect.

    P.... J....

    *You're being dumb.

    P.... J....

    I am from the south,I say bought also, bottom line knew what you meant

  25. G.... ....

    This song is salve for the broken heart.

  26. G.... D....

    Love this song

  27. J.... L....

    beautiful and full of longings

    J.... L....

    I remember listening to this song for the very first time while driving to a cafe for dinner after a picture perfect day of playing under a waterful with my then beautiful true love. While sitting and gazing across the table at her pretty face and smile, a brief moment's sadness came over me as my intuitive knowing that this day and time with that person would one day come to an end. So here I am, a few decades removed from that exquisite painting of reality, listening in this reality to Michael Frank's haunting song and with a tear in my eye, now changing into Mr. Blue.

  28. M.... S....

    SUPERB!!!

  29. P.... P....

    I love this tune. And the lyrics.... Thank you!

  30. O.... B....

    Thank you Michael Franks!

  31. y.... k....

    自らの想いよりも愛する人の幸せを心から望む、それが本当の愛ではないでしょうか。マイケルはそう教えてくれるのです。

  32. E.... Z....

    So beautiful, Mesmerizing!!  Michael Franks is so amazing!!

  33. T.... B....

    Smiply awesone

  34. B.... ....

    one night, i was listening to a radio station and a piece of liryc made me intrigue, 'we live we love we laugh we cry we never die' and that's how i heared it. after listening, i dig google and youtube. 3 months later, my craving was satisfied

    thank you, redrum666666666, for posting :)

    B.... ....

  35. G.... C....

    I wish I could play the piano like Joe Sample does...this song is so beautiful

  36. 1.... ....

    So that's where the intro of Ginuwine's so Anxious came from.
