Just when every ray of hope was gone I should have known that you would come along I can't believe, I ever doubted you My old friend the blues Another lonely night, a nameless town If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around 'Cuz I know I can always count on you My old friend the blues Lovers leave and friends'll let you down You're the only sure thing that I've found No matter what I do, I'll never lose My old friend the blues Lovers leave and friends will let you down You're the only sure thing that I've found No matter what I do, I'll never lose My old friend the blues Just let me hide my weary heart in you My old friend the blues
