Learning the Blues - Joe Valino

Learning the Blues

Learning the Blues Lyrics

The tables are empty, the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the 10th time you've heard it
That's the beginning, just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light, one after another
Won't help you forget her, and the way that you love her
You're only burnin' a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep, the whole night you're crying
But you can't forget her, soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break, you know you've learned the blues
