Ray Charles
Am I Blue (Live in Japan)
[Spoken intro]
Arigato, it's so nice
Thank you very much
[Verse 1]
Am I blue? Am I blue?
Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you?
[Verse 2]
Am I blue? You'd be too
If your dreams, like your schemes, done fell through
[Bridge]
There was a time when I was her only one
Now I am the sad and lonely one
Oh, yes I am, yes I am
[Verse 3]
Was I gay? Till today
Now she's gone and we're, Lord, we're through
Am I blue?
John, come here. Explain it
[Flugelhorn solo: Johnny Coles]
Yeah, baby
[Bridge]
Thеre was a time I was her only onе
Now I am the sad and lonely one
John, you know, you know I'm such a lonely one
Yes I am, yes I am
[Verse 4]
Was I gay? Till today
Now she's gone and we're through
Am I, am I blue?
Am I blue, baby?
Am I blue?
Yes, I am
[Spoken outro]
John Coles, ladies and gentlemen!
It's alright, John!
