Lyrics
Everyone loves a love story
Told of a maid and a man
But listen to my love story
It ended before it began
Refrain:
A beautiful lady in blue
We met just like two shadows do
Not one word was said, she kissed me and fled
And our little romance was through
A beautiful lady in blue
She thought I was someone she knew
Her lips so divine were not meant for mine
The night seemed to laugh at us, too
How did I know she was lovely?
There wasn’t a moonbeam a-glow
How would I know there’s a heaven?
Unless my heart told me so
A beautiful lady in blue
And strange as it may sound to you
A lifetime was spent in one little moment
With a beautiful lady in blue
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
