Write Me The Blues
By Paul Wilson

I want to write the blues
but my heart won’t bleed
The blues are something special
they comfort me in my need

The South is where I was born
the blues nurtured me each day
Sometimes sang for healing the heart
sometimes when loved one’s go away

My heart is beating to this soulful sound
as teardrops fall to the ground
Blues are the life blood of a man
whose life has been turned upside down

I need to write the blues
to mend my lonely heart
The words are calling me but
I don’t know where to start

A couple more drinks of soul
and I might open up to you
A few more memories of yesterday
and my pen might write blue

Play the blues It’s good for the soul
to bleed a little now and then
Share your feelings with the world
maybe your heart will heal again

I was born cradled by the blues
swaying to it’s tearful sound
The blues keep me company
when you’re not around

I feel the blues coming back to me
filling my pen with it’s need
I’m a blues man forever
my heart nurture’s it’s seed

If you'd only come see me, I'd sing them to you.

Karen...You mean you would put on a special performance just for me, damn i'm lucky too have someone as caring as you. Maybe I will show up on your door step like a little lost puppy. LOL

You make me smile when I am blue
You pick me up when I am down
You're the best friend
That I ever found.

Thanks dear friend...Paul
