don't wish it away
don't look at it like it's forever
between you and me i could honestly say
that things can only get better
and while i'm away
dust out the demons inside
and it won be long
before you and me run
to the place in our hearts where we hide
and i guess that's why
they call it the blues
time on my hands could
be time spent with you
laughing like children
living like lovers
rolling like thunder under the covers
and i guess that's why
they call it the blues
just stare into space
picture my face in your hands
live for each second without hesitation
and never forget i'm your man
wait on me girl
cry in the night if it helps
but more than ever i simply love you
more than i love life itself
and i guess that's why
they call it the blues
time on my hands could
be time spent with you
laughing like children
living like lovers
rolling like thunder under the covers
and i guess that's why
they call it the blues
wait on me girl
cry in the night if it helps
but more than ever i simply love you
more than i love life itself
and i guess that's why
they call it the blues
time on my hands could
be time spent with you
laughing like children
living like lovers
rolling like thunder under the covers
and i guess that's why
they call it the blues
and i guess that's why
they call it the blues
and i guess that's why
they call it the blues
