Lyrics
Blue Orpheus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you want to cry
You can always find something to cry about
It's so easy to be wise
Over someone else's tears
But you have a gift
That the rest of us just can't live without
And it's something in your voice
When you tell us how you feel
'Cause we've all loved something and lost it
And it's burning my heart
I can't open my mouth and just let it out
But when I hear my Blue Orpheus sing
I know that life is a wonderful thing
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I know life is a wonderful thing
Seems so long ago
The sound of your joy filled the atmosphere
We can make it on our own
But the road is so rocky and steep
And when you feel lost
No one tells you what you need to hear
And the only dream you have
Is the one that's in your sleep
'Cause we soon forget what we're here for
I need someone to say he's got dreams of his own
I'll know I'm not alone
I want to hear my Blue Orpheus sing
I'll know that life is a wonderful thing
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I'll know life is a wonderful thing
Sing
You will one day be together again
Though you can not see her
Sing
She is somewhere in the world
