Lyrics
Listen to the Blues
How sad the rain, when you're looking for the sun
And you hope the storm is over
But it's only just begun
How strong the pain, if it never goes away
And you wish you didn't have to feel the hurt
But it comes back every day,
And you only want to listen to the blues
How long has this been going on
You never seem to smile
Every time I see you
You only want to listen to the blues, all you ever wanna do
You only want to listen to the blues, it's all you ever wanna do
You only want to listen to the blues
When your spirit's down, and dragging on the ground
It's a feeling you just can't lose
And you'd like to change the way it is
But your heart won't let you choose
And you only want to listen to the blues, all you ever wanna do
You only want to listen to the blues, it's all you ever wanna do
You only want to listen to the blues, all you ever wanna do
You only want to listen to the blues
