"Song Sung Blue" — Neil Diamond's 1972 observation.
Song sung blue, everybody knows one
Song sung blue, every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when ya take the blues and make a song
Ya sing em out again
Song sung blue, weepin like a willow
Song sung blue, sleepin on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it starts to feelin good
Ya simply got no choice
(song sung blue), everybody knows one
(song sung blue), every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when ya take the blues and make a song
Ya sing em out again
(song sung blue), weepin like a willow
(song sung blue), sleepin on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it starts to feelin good
Ya simply got no choice
mixed with backups (song sung blue)
Fade

- Written by Neil Diamond in 1972. The observation that everyone has a song sung blue — a private melancholy — and weeping has its uses. Sinatra bringing his interpretive authority to contemporary pop, finding the Songbook quality in Diamond's more direct lyric.
