I still have the blues
(A Blues song )

By Richard Maxfield
1-24-2001


Fell in love years ago
I just don’t know
Now years have past
Since I seen you last
In heart ach pain
I don’t know what to do
I still have the blues for you

The pain I feel
Just wont heal
Hole in my heart
Now were apart
Tell me please
I don’t know what to do
I still have the blues for you

I wake at night
In terrible fright
A cold cold sweat
I’m not over you yet
Tear drops fall
I don’t know what to do
I still have the blues for you

When will my ear
No longer hear
Will your face
Not haunt this place
Will rest ever come
I don’t know what to do
I still have the blues for you

Echoes of mine
Of another time
Once rang so sweet
Now knock me off my feet
On my knees
I don’t know what to do
I still have the blues for you

Reflections I see
Of you and me
Back ageist the wall
Tears fall
When will they fade
I don’t know what to do
I still have the blues for you

When day breaks
My heart aches
When will I heal
No more pain I feel
Standing alone
I don’t know what to do
I still have the blues for you

well let me start off by saying welcome to this place of words and song.  we could always use a few more songs here personally.  this was a nice song, though at times it dragged a little and the length was a touch long.  imagery was wonderful, but the energy was a little weak behind it.  at least that's what I see.  look it over a bit and see what you can do.  It has potential written all over it.
