Today I Sing the Blues

Without a word of warning

The blues walked in this morning

And circled round my lonely room

I didn't know why I had

That sad and lonely feeling

'Till my baby called and said it's through

Yesterday I sang a love song

But today I sing the blues

I know the explenation

But that's no constellation

No matter how your love

You can lose

And since I lost

I rather walk around and worry

I guess I've walked the darkest avenue

Yesterday I sang a love song

But today I sing the blues

Now it strikes me kind of funny

How life can be this way

We were lovers last night honey

But not in love today

Now it strikes me kind of funny

How faith can be unfair

It seems that I'm the one

To lose in every love affair

Yes it must be written for me

That I should be the one to always lose

Yesterday I sang a love song

But today I sing the blues

Now it strikes me kind of funny

How life can be this way

We were lovers last night honey

But not in love today

It strikes me kind of funny

How faith can be unfair

It seems that I'm the one

To lose in every love affair

Yes it must be written for me

That I should be the one to always lose

Yesterday I sang a love song

But today I sing the blues
