lyrics

TO SING THE BLUES
(Richards)

Do you remember
When our love was new?
Brown-eyed and broken
And just out of school
And I was a singer
Just paying my dues

You made me play you
Those happy songs
Where love’s unending
And nothing goes wrong
And those were the only kind
That I knew
Till you taught me how
To sing the blues

Now I sing about
The wicked ways of lovers
I tell of all the cheating
And the lies
And the pain that comes
Once you have discovered
Just how hard it is
To bury love that dies

Now I play these dark songs
I learned ‘em well
Not from Blind Lemon
Or from Willie McTell
I guess all I needed
Was someone like you
You taught me how
To sing the blues
