Here's my perception: BLUE BAYOU
Blue - By - you. Roy had lost his wife, Claudette, 24 years old, in a motorcycle accident. Her loss gave him, the "blues." Great sorrow. Find this song line, "If I could only see". Read the 3 lines that follow.
The meaning: He wakes up in the morning, in bed, alone, with "sleepy eyes". He does not see her. He is heartbroken, grief-stricken - desolate.
It's a great song. Multiple meanings - all heartfelt.
Thank you, Roy.
