Gary Moore › Lyrics › Story of the Blues

My baby she's left me
My baby she's gone
My sweet little angel
Has spread her wings and flown

I think of a reason
For going on
From this day
I will play the blues

She said it was over
This time it's the end
Bad luck and trouble
Gonna be my only friend

I still can't believe it
After all we've been through
Everyday
I will play the blues

Everybody
Knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without

She came from Chicago
She read me the news
In the headlines
Was a story of the blues

They say a broken heart
Can always mend
That time is the healer
The sadness will end

But I've done so much crying
When will I laugh again?
Till that day
I will play the blues

Everybody
Knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without

Could have cried me a river
When they told me the news
On that day
Was a story of the blues
