Blues


I saw the tulip sitting on the table
You had not even opened it
You did not care......it did not matter
Jenny saw the tulip...


....................................................................

I sent you a blue tulip
Because I was blue
You left it on the table
As you went in and through.

The others saw it sitting there,
And laughed because they knew
That I was yearning for your love
And feeling very blue.

Then Jenny saw the Tulip
And caressed it with a smile
She put it in some water
For a long and tender while

The tulip picked its head up
And raised its beautiful head
But all I saw was jenny's smile
And tomorrow we will wed
