It used to be so easy to give my heart away
I found out the hard way
There's a price I have to pay

I found in that love's no friend of mine
I should have known better time after time


It was so long, so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you


It used to be so easy to fall in love again
I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain

I found in that love was more than just a game
I was playin' to win
But losin' just the same


It was so long, so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you


So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart there's an empty space

Where you used to be

Well, it was so long, so long ago

But I've still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go

There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you.
