Lyrics The Manhattan Transfer

The Manhattan Transfer

Blue Champagne

3 a.m.

Nowhere else to go

It's 3 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 with

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

Seem to overtake me

Like a boomerang

Blue is the sparkle, gone is the tang

It's your refrain,

Keeps returning, as I remain

With all the memories and blue champagne

To toast the dream that was you

I'm bluer than blue champagne
