i guess that's why they call it the blues

don't wish it away

don't look at it like it's forever

between you and me i could honestly say

that things could 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

oh more than ever i simply love you

more than i love life itself

oh

oh

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

wait on me girl

and cry in the night if it helps

but more than ever i simply love you

more than i life life itself

yeah

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

and i guess that's why they call it the blues

and i guess that's why they call it the blues
