Gary Moore - Story of the Blues lyrics

My baby she left me my baby she's gone
My sweet little angel
Spread her wings and flown
Can't think of a reason for goin' on
From this day I will play the blues

She said it was over this time it's the end
Now bad luck and trouble's
Gonna be my only friend
I still can't believe it
After all we've been through
Everyday I will play the blues
Everybody knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without
She came from Chicago she read me the news
In the headlines was a story of the blues

They say a broken heart can always mend
That time is the healer the sadness will end
But, I've done so much crying
When will I laugh again
Till that day I will play the blues

Everybody knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without
Could have cried me a river
When they told me the news on that day
Was a story of the blues
