gary moore - story of the blues lyrics

my baby she left me, my baby she's gone.
my sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown.
can't 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.
time is the healer and 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.
