there was nothing i could do when
the elevator door said its sweet good bye
except swallow my hi and choke back a chance
for a sad hello to slide out and wait
until the blues bleed me dry.
but baby it really doesn't matter when
the rain falls down in sheets just like
when tears fall out of place --
i sing the blues when i have to baby
oh baby i sing the blues.
i know you're tired of kissing when
i see sparkles in your eyes
which were a bit, but not too quite
just a little over sad lovin'
because those sparkles were coming from mine.
but baby it really doesn't matter when
the clouds won't part at all.
it's just like any other day with you
because that's when i sing the blues,
and i sing the blues when i have to baby,
that's when i sing the blues,
oh baby i sing the blues.
and when you're gone i sing the blues
and that's when i have to baby
oh baby i sing the blues...
