You can't write a novel from a briefcase 
You can write a poem from a trench 
You can dream a dream from A to be	 
But you can't catch a bus from a bench 

You don't back a horse called Striding Snail 
You don't name your boat Titanic II 
So why when I see your happy smiling face 
Do I always end up singing Little Blue 

Little Blue, how do you do 
Your smile looks like heaven 
But your eyes hold a storm about to brew 
Little Blue 
How can a flower so pretty 
Be so laden down with dew 
Little Blue 

How can a flower so pretty 
Be so laden down with dew 
Little Blue 

You can't build a brewery on a cemetery 
You can build a pub on a church 
And people fall quicker than buildings do 
You have to decide what comes first 

You don't call a plane the Flying Roman 
'Cause the Romans always walked and never flew 
So why when I see your happy smiling face 
Do I always end up singing Little Blue 

Little Blue, how do you do 
Your smile looks like heaven 
But your eyes hold a storm about to brew 
Little Blue 
How can a flower so pretty 
Be so laden down with dew 
Little Blue 

Well Bukowski wrote a story from a barstool 
And Keats from the top of a hill 
So I'm going to save my special song for you 
From a grave where it's quiet and it's chill 

'Cause there's a queue of clouds assembled 
On the horizon of your smile 
When most think that you're holding back 
I know you're holding bile 

Little Blue, how do you do 
Your smile looks like heaven 
But your eyes hold a storm about to brew 
Little Blue 
How can a flower so pretty 
Be so laden down with dew 
Little Blue 

How can a flower so pretty 
Be so laden down with dew 
Little Blue
