about

"Sad lyrics set to happy music are my favorite kind of salty-sugary treat. The original version of this song, “Ue o Muite Arukō” (sung by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963), was the first Japanese pop song I was introduced to many years ago, and it has been in my mind swimming around almost daily ever since. Though the lyrics I’m singing are different (these English lyrics are courtesy of A Taste of Honey circa 1980), I still feel that sense of bittersweet contrast of bouncy rhythm and lyrical heartbreak that I found so captivating about the original." (Halie Loren)

lyrics

It's all because of you I'm feeling sad and blue
You went away, now my life’s just a rainy day
I love you so — how much, you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely

Untouchable memories seem to keep haunting me
Of love so true that once turned all my gray skies blue
You disappeared, now my eyes are filled with tears
I'm wishin' you were here with me

Soft with love are my thoughts of you
And now that you're gone, I don't know what to do
Oh, no...
I don’t know what to do

Soft with love are my thoughts of you
Now that you're gone, I just don’t know what to do

If only you were here, you'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine, once again you'd be mine, all mine
But in reality, you and I will never be
You took your love away from me,
Oh, you took your love away from me...
Me...
Oh, you took your love away
I don’t know what to do
All my thoughts of you
I’m feeling sad and blue
And it’s all because of you
Feeling sad, sad and blue, yeah yeah
It’s all because you took your love away from me
