Joan Armatrading - Cool Blue Stole My Heart Lyrics

Got this album as a 16 year old in 1975. Love this track. Her songs had such meaning in my life. Wish I could go back.

Wonderful

so much going on in this song

I swear you were not my ambition
A cooling aid was on my mind
I walked up to the bar and I ordered
Then I took my ice outside
I sat down under the hot sun
I looked around at this new land
And then oh
Cool Blue
Long dark
You stole my heart
I woke up first light next morning
And I took a tram to the Leidse Plein
I hired a bike and I drove around for hours
I was searching for those dark eyes
I made a stop at the Blue Note
I passed up a chance for some good fun
'Cause of you
Cool Blue
Long dark
Who stole my heart

this song, this version, stole my heart one night and to this day still

This song gets in my head! ♥️♥️♥️

What a great, great song!

One my favourite Joan Armatrading songs. Always good live.

I don't know about "Whatever's for Us,..." because I never owned it or heard it much. But the next three still manage to slay me!!

It's the only co-write LP, her debut album with Pam Nestor wrote lyrics for most of the songs. The producer was Gus Dudgeon in 1971, the same year Gus produced Elton John's Madman Across The Water. My fave song that I learned to perform is City Girl, it's posted on my page as well as a lot of my own recent songs :-)

There is a lot to love in that first album. I still love it!

Awesome song, Awesome band...

If you don't know who Joan Armatrading is then this is a good day for you.

One of my favorite songs of all time! I enjoy all of her versions but this one is the best. Her voice and that stand-up bass are perfect!
