Sometimes these walls seem to cave in on me
When I look in your eyes, I feel alive
Some days we say words that don’t mean a thing
But when you holding me tight, I feel alive
Make it last forever
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
You and I together
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
Blue
Each day I feel so blessed to be looking at you
‘Cause when you open your eyes, I feel alive
My heart beats so damn quick when you say my name
When I’m holding you tight, I’m so alive
Now let’s live it up
Make it last forever
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
You and I together
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
Blue
Make it last forever
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
You and I together
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
Blue
We gotta hold on, I gotta hold on
You’ve got to hold on, you’ve got a hold on me
We gotta hold on, I gotta hold on
You’ve got to hold on, you’ve got a hold on me
Make it last forever
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
You and I together
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
Blue
We gotta hold on, I gotta hold on
You’ve got to hold on, you’ve got a hold on me
We gotta hold on, I gotta hold on
You’ve got to hold on, you’ve got a hold on me
Make it last forever
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
You and I together
Come on, baby, won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me?
Blue
Hold on to me, hold on
Bee-sy-ay
Bee-sy-ay
Blue
Mommy, mommy, mommy
Can we see daddy?
Can we see daddy?
Missus Carter!
Missus Carter!
Finding Comfort in Love: A Deep Dive into “Blue”
In “Blue,” Beyoncé offers a heartfelt reflection on the transformative power of maternal love. The song explores the vulnerability that comes with deep emotional connections, as Beyoncé describes moments of doubt and uncertainty that are soothed by the presence of a loved one. Repeated references to feeling “alive” when looking into her child’s eyes or being held close reveal how these intimate bonds provide strength and purpose. The chorus’s plea to “make it last forever” and “hold on to me” underscores a desire for lasting closeness and security, while the gentle, almost lullaby-like tone of the song invites the listener into this tender, private world. The track closes with a touching appearance from Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy, further grounding the song in a real, personal context and highlighting the theme of familial love enduring through all challenges.
