Martino, Claudine Longet
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I’m without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we’re apart
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
<brief instrumental interlude-chiefly harpsichord and flute>
Black, black, the nights I’ve known
Longing for you so lost and alone
<instrumental to end>
