When love gets shook up
and things don't look up,
you better brace up to the part
Cause all that you know
about how love goes
comes straight out of the heart.

And the blues those lonely love lost blues
oh, they can make the day grow long
when you got a heart that's got no home
and you're left out all alone.
Outside the love you always knew.

And love such deep and daring love
will drive a normal man insane
when every day is dark with pain
seems there's no sunshine only rain
While I'm still in love with you.

And I feel so bad
and I feel so sad
Oh lord what can I do
While I'm still in love with you.

And nights those lonely silent nights
they come to say you're gone
don't know how I can carry on
I can't find out what went wrong
Cause I'm still in love with you.

And I feel so bad
and I feel so sad
Oh Lord what can I do
While I'm still in love with you.

And life yeah this only lonely life
is full of sorrow and pain
when a heart gets rearranged
and the blues they come so strange
Cause I'm still in love with you.

Mercy what can a lonely man do
in a big mess with the blues
Yeah and I'm still in love with you.

That's the reason the songs of the blues will never die.  Wonderful write sir.  I am glad to see you back in here with another of your wonderful works to feast my eyes on.

If you find yourself stranded in a storm
...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together

'Mercy what can a lonely man do
in a big mess with the blues
Yeah and I'm still in love with you.'

And the blues those lonely love lost blues
oh, they can make the day grow long
when you got a heart that's got no home
and you're left out all alone.
Outside the love you always knew.

And love such deep and daring love
will drive a normal man insane
when every day is dark with pain
seems there's no sunshine only rain
While I'm still in love with you.

==================

Oh my E-babes got the blues ...
hes feeling low ... got nothing to lose
his heart wont let him be ... wont let him choose
hes paying love's price ... hes paying his dues
got him feeling like leaving ... strapin on his walking shoes
Sing em to me baby...sing those Ethome blues
music to our ears ... the melodies of your muse  


MISSED YOU POET PAL!!!!
love ya

You cry, you grieve, you get angry, you accept it, you get over it...not necessarily in that order...sometimes it takes three months..sometimes three years...I feel for you...disappointments sadden our spirits...we all want a love that stays...that accepts us...James
