Blue Champagne (1941)

Watts/Ryerson, et. al.

"Blue Champagne - purple shadows and Blue Champagne,
With the echoes that still remain, I keep a blue rendezvous."





When I first began singing, I was chatting with one of my sister's friends at a party and she introduced me to this song. She had sung it in one of Yale's vocal groups, and she told me, "you absolutely have to learn this song." So I did. I would love to hear it done a cappella, in eight-part harmony. For your own blue champagne cocktail, add a dash of blue curacao to your favorite bubbly.

CHORUS

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;
Each old refrain keeps returning as I remain
With my memories and Blue Champagne
To toast the dream that was you.
