"Blue" Songs

This is part 5 of 7 in a series of Songs With Colors In The Titles. There are a good number of songs with "Blue" in the title, but almost two years ago – in my early days of blogging – I did a post of songs with the word "Blue" (just that, no other words) as the title, and I really didn't want to re-post any of those songs. So, here ya go – no repeats! Still some really good ones here. Enjoy?  ~  JH
