LYRICS
Hopelessly naïve, with a hint of blue
It’s “The Wonder of You”
It keeps me still, mesmerised
Moondance, Late for the Sky
Green, green, meadowlark
For the Roses and Court and Spark
These were mine before I knew
Your favorite album is Blue
The turn of your smile
the touch of your cheek
We spin Astral Weeks
Love so real, like lovers know
Tapestry, then “Heart of Gold”
Green, green, meadowlark
For the Roses and Court and Spark
These were mine before I knew
Your favorite album is Blue
Helplessly, I float away
In the spell of your lavender incense
The world could crash and fall away
And I wouldn’t even notice
Suddenly serene, a long goodbye
"Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"
A Pink Moon on the rise
Tea for the Tillerman,
“Come Down in Time”
Green, green, meadowlark
For the Roses and Court and Spark
These were mine before I knew
Your favorite album is Blue
Your favorite album is Blue

ABOUT
If you're a fan of Joni Mitchell, this song just might speak to you. Her music has touched me in so many ways, and it was good to write a song that honored her.
“Favorite Album is Blue” was written as a song assignment at Lamb's Retreat for Songwriters in November 2022. The assignment was to write a song about two kids spinning records. When I envisioned them, I saw Joni Mitchell's Blue album in the girl's hand and many classic albums scattered on the floor. Classic 70's song and album titles are intertwined in the lyrics as I tell the story of these two kids spinning records and her favorite album is “Blue”.
