Story Of The Blues

My baby she left me my baby she's gone My sweet little angel Has spread her wings and flown Can't think of a reason for going on From this day I will play the blues She said it was over this time it's the end Bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend I still can't believe it After all we've been through Everyday I will play the blues Everybody knows what the blues is all about It's a pain you can't live with It's a woman you can't live without She came from Chicago she read me the news In the headlines was a story of the blues They say a broken heart can always mend Time is the healer and sadness will end But I've done so much crying When will I laugh again Till that day I will play the blues Everybody knows what the blues is all about It's a pain you can't live with It's a woman you can't live without Could have cried me a river When they told me the news On that day was a story of the blues
