BLUE CHAMPAGNE
Words and music by Grady Watts & Frank Ryerson.
New York: Encore Music Publishing Co., Inc., 1941.

Three a.m., no where else to go.
It's three a.m. and I miss you so.
Couples are departing.
Soon they'll all be gone.
Now another day is starting.
Still I linger on.

Blue champagne,
Purple shadows and blue champagne,
With the echoes that still remain
I keep a blue rendezvous.

Bubbles rise
like a fountain before my eyes
And they suddenly crystallize
To form a vision of you.

All the plans we started, all the songs we sang
Each little dream we knew seems to overtake me like a boomerang.
Blue is the sparkle. Gone is the tang.

Each old refrain
Keeps returning as I remain
With my memories and blue champagne
To toast the dream that was you.
