When Sunny Gets Blue - Carmen McRae

People used to love to hear her laugh, and see her smile

Thats how she got her name

But since that sad affair- shes lost smile and changed her style

Somehow shes not the same

Whennnnnn.

sunny gets blue

her eyes get grey and clouded

and the rain begins to fall

pitter patter pitter patter

love is gone

so what can matter

no sweet love a man comes to call

when sunny gets blue, she breaths a sigh of sadness

like the wind that stirs the trees

winds that set the leaves to swayin'

like some violins are playing

weird and haunting melodies

people used to hear her laugh and see her smile

thats how she got her name

but since that sad affair

she lost her smile, changed her style

somehow shes not the same

but memories will fade and pretty dreams will rise up where the other dreams

fell through,

hurry new hurry here and kiss away each lonely tear

and hold near when sunny gets blue

hurry hurry hurry new love — hurry here — and kiss away each lonely tear

and hold her near.
