Yesterday we were gay
I was high on a rainbow
But now there's no rainbow
You've gone and so a lover is blue

Life was sweet, so complete
Now I've suddenly wakened
To find I'm forsaken
Alone and so a lover is blue

Do you still remember our love affair?
Does it matter to you?
But I'll have to go through our door to care

Here and there everywhere
Every scene just reminds me
Of something that binds me
To you and so a lover is blue
