I wake up and think of her
|
No matter what I do
|
She's always on my mind
|
A time a day or two
|
Seems to me the things you've loved the most
|
You always lose
|
But once you've got them
|
You've always got the blues
|
|
In time, well you may find someone else
|
That can comfort you
|
But not someone to light the fire
|
No, not the way she used to do
|
|
You lose the things that made it
|
What it was when it was new
|
And once you've got them
|
You've always got the blues
|
|
That new love only can replace
|
Just so much of you
|
That leaves a lot that gets lost between
|
Number one and number two
|
In time, well you may find someone else
|
That can comfort you
|
But not someone to light the fire
|
No, not the way she used to do
|
|
You lose the things that made it
|
What it was when it was new
|
And once you've got them
|
You've always got the blues
|

You've Always Got The Blues
