You said you could do without everything but me. While your dreamy eyes turned every young man's head. For you were unbelievable and I was seventeen Back when you were blue and I was green.
Yeah, you had your experience and I just had to see What lies behind an older woman's dreams. So all my thoughts were colored by the love you gave to me, Back when you were blue and I was green.
I hear you're in Chicago going through the change, That you finally found a man to fit your dreams.
Me, I'm in the middle of this song that you arranged Back when you were blue and I was green. Yeah, that was back when you were blue and I was green.
