when the lady sings the blues

when this old world gets the

the best of me

life don't come quite so easily

the only thing that brings a little peace to me

is when the lady sings the blues

the worlds keep knocking on my front door

i just can't seem to pay the rent no more

the one thing that i keep longing for

is when the lady sings the blues

singing 'bout the hard time

standing in the silver line

praying help is on the way

feeling kind of helpless

hoping for some kindness

waiting on that sunshiny day

just when i think i'm gonna

gonna come on wild

feels like the walls just start toppling down

the one thing that keeps me hanging around

is when the lady sings the blues

singing 'bout the hard time

standing in the silver line

praying help is on the way

feeling kind of helpless

hoping for some kindness

waiting on that sunshiny day

'good morning

heartache'

by lady 'day

'god bless the child'

who chased my blues away

and ain't nobody's business gonna get me through

when the lady sings the blues

ain't it nice what a little moonlight can do

when the lady sings the blues

when the lady sings the blues

when the lady sings the blues
