In the quiet of the evening I sing a mournful song As the night wind blows a low lonesome moan Oh she left without a warning My world came tumbling down Our love ended with the sad heartbreakin' sound Now the blues are movin' in I can't help the way I feel What an awful price for love I've had to pay Never thought I'd see the day She'd just up and run away What a cold world, when the blues are movin' in I heard her walk across the floor Heard the closing of the door And the sound of silence cut me like a knife She was all that I lived for And I'll never love again It's a cold world, when the blues are movin' in
