Blues Is All I Ever Had - Julie London

Some folks always seem to find the good things

Other folks get mixed up with the bad

Don’t ask me what I know about the good things

The blues is all I ever had

To some, the earth’s a world of friendly faces

For those lucky few, I’m awful glad

My world’s been a string of second places

The blues is all I ever had

When I first met him, I thought that maybe

He could change this lonely life I led

When he smiled and said, «I love you, baby»

Silly girl, I b’lieved each word he said

Guess it’s time for me to say «good bye"now

Didn’t mean to leave you feelin' sad

Since he’s gone, what is there left to try now?

The blues is all I ever had
