Some blues would be most wonderful to lose;
blue moods that tend to darken to a black,
but there’s a blue that’s favorite of hues,
and were it gone from me I’d want it back...
Blue within her eyes has beckoned me
as though the blue of sky or of the sea.
In nature, blue is rare. Where it occurs
it’s ravishing, as in lapis lazuli,
in feathers of a bird, or eyes of hers,
I see as precious gorgeous treasure, truly.
Blue within her eyes has beckoned me
as though the blue of sky or of the sea.
Blues may be rare in nature, but in moods
it seems that they most commonly arise,
yet blues are mixed with blisses one concludes,
as when beholding blue within her eyes.
Blue within her eyes has beckoned me
as though the blue of sky or of the sea.

This would go with a golden-age-style musicals or better operetta setting. It wouldn't sit so well in pop, and the language is not really country. But the first two, it'd fit fine. Romantic scene with the ardent singing his little heart out to the sea while the desired surreptitiously overhears...
