Lyrics by Rebecca Adams
© 1970 Upstate Wonderland Music
Originally performed by Sugar & Ames
 |
| Blue Jean Lady was more popular for its performances after Sugar & Ames than by them. A staple in Gary Krajicek's solo concerts in 1972-1973, Blue Jean Lady was performed only once by Sugar & Ames: their final performance at the Riverside Music Festival in September, 1970. Although it has never been recorded by any band, at least six bands are known to have covered Blue Jean Lady during the early Seventies. This song was one of ten new songs written by Rebecca Adams during the Sugar & Ames break-up of 1970. Inspired by a blue jean-clad woman dancing by herself and crying in Central Park, Rebecca wrote the music and lyrics to this song in 30 minutes after returning home from her trip to New York City. The song has always been performed as written that day. |
See you dancin' in the grass,
Blue jean lady.
Watchin time go by so fast,
Blue jean lady.
And the modern world just slips away,
As you melt off into yesterday,
And you find the ones you lost,
Blue jean lady. Blue jean lady.
Wondering what is on your mind,
Blue jean lady.
What you hope you're gonna find,
Blue jean lady.
Life goes on, it passes by,
Like the steps you take and tears you cry,
And you never seem to notice.
Blue jean lady. Like a vision from a somber dream,
Like a moment on the silver screen,
Like an angel trapped upon the earth,
Like a baby yearning for his birth.
Like a chilly breeze in a winter's sky,
Like an eagle soaring up on high.
Your movements move me so,
Blue jean lady. Blue jean lady.
How long can you go on,
Blue jean lady.
Groovin with your mind in song,
Blue jean lady.
Will your private music fade away,
Or will I see you here another day
Just a-swayin in the grass
Blue jean lady. Blue jean lady.
