Lyrics
I've got the blues tonight
Baby, can't you tell
I've got the blues tonight
For you I fell
My lonely heart is aching
I'm yours for the taking
The night may yet be young
My poor heart is aching
There was a day
I'd be walking away
Taking care of my own
But when I see you'
I cannot leave you
I cannot leave you alone
There was a day
I would laugh it away
Then you'd find me downtown
No bright lights today
I've got nothing to say
Just crying these blues away
I'm so blue tonight
It's for you I cry
You said you were leaving
My heart's not believing
I've got the blues tonight
