Lyrics:
Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I've found that the hard way is a price you have to pay
I found that love was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time
So long, it was so long ago
#9
But I've still got the blues for you
Used to be so easy to fall in love again
I've found that the hard way, it's a way that leads to pain
I've found that love was more than just a game
To play and to win but to lose just the same
So long, it was so long ago
#9
But I've still got the blues for you
So many years since I've seen your face
And now in my heart, there's an empty space
You used to be
So long, it was so long ago
#9
But I've still got the blues for you
Though the days come and go, there's one thing I know
#9
I've still got the blues for you
