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 'Cause I know I can always count on you My old friend, the blues Lovers leave and friends, they let you down You're the only sure thing that I found No matter what I do, I'll never lose My old friend, the blues ♪ Lovers leave and friends, they let you down You're the only sure thing that I 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
