1.
We had both been hypnotized
And under an ancient spell
When our hearts and souls surrendered
The very moment we both fell
I sit among the photographs
Scattered all around the room
Blacks and whites and colors
Turning blue, turning blue

2.
There's a gallery of memories
That is filled with lover's art
I wander thru it daily
What we painted with our hearts
Hand in hand in Paris
And on the beaches of Cancun
So, how did these memories
Turn to blue, turn to blue

Bridge
I sit before a canvas
A world of colors I can choose
I lift my brush and close my eyes
To catch a glimpse of you

3.
And mix the ocean in the tropics
With a cold December sky
On the brush I use for memories
Of the love we left behind
We were just too much like
M aybe too good to be true
Still, I wish I could wash away all the blue
All the blue, all the blue

A song of love, a song of regret. Beautiful instrumentation. Wise use of synth vocals for ambiance. Great poetry in the lyrics. The painting metaphor is consistent throughout the whole song. This songwriter is very original and knows how to use words in the most engaging way. "Hypnotized...fell" Then the honesty...we were too much alike. Even though it ends sadly this is a lovely love song.

This is a nice soothing song with a great message. The vocals are really nice. The guitar picking is done really nice. All the instrumentation is very good. The recording is very nice also. I like this song.

Well done, lovely song. Love the lyrics, really well written and structured. Could be a hit in the right place, i.e. if used in a movie, which would bring it the attention it deserves.

There is talent here!! Theme and projection has potential.

I like the guitar. It sounds like the guitar is in open tuning. That gives the tune a unique flavor to it.

Very Nice!

What an outstanding song this is. Powerful lyrics paint vivid images of lost love in a unique way. What a great hook. Delicate acoustic guitar tracks compliment the message with a flowing tempo. Vocal is heartfelt. Melody is lovely. Recording is great. Arrangement is wonderful. Great job Chet!

gentle song, good voice,enjoyed it.

It grows on you as the song goes on. The voice is very pleasant and fits the song perfectly. A sad but not maudlin love song, sentimental in a quiet, tasteful way. I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but I did - I do like it.

Very fluid sounding tunes, nice vibe and nice performance

Very nice chord sequences!! Awesome vocal melody and instrumental arrangements.

nice chord changes
