Since you’ve been gone
I’ve been walking around
With my head bowed down to my shoes
I’ve been living the blues every night without you.

I don’t have to go far
To know where you are
Strangers all give me the news
I’ve been living the blues every night without you.

I think that it’s best
I soon get some rest
And forget my pride, but I can’t deny
This feeling that I carry for you deep down inside.

If you’d see me this way
You’d come back and you’d stay
Oh, how could you refuse ?
I’ve been living the blues every night without you.

I think that it’s best
I soon get some rest
And forget my pride, but I can’t deny
This feeling that I carry for you deep down inside.

If you’d see me this way
You’d come back and you’d stay
Oh, how could you refuse ?
I’ve been living the blues every night without you.
