Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say

That things can only get better

And while I'm away

Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide


And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues


Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands

Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man


Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Wait on me girl

Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself


And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues


Laughing like children, living like lovers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Laughing like children, living like lovers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
