A Touch of the Blues - Rosemary Clooney

It’s late

And I’m stuck with a heart

That is comin' apart

At the seams!

I hate

To be givin' the game up

Oh but life is a frame-up

Of dreams!

I miss my baby so much

Guess I’ve got a touch of the blues!

I find

That I’m sharin' a rut

With some gloom you could cut

With a knife!

My mind

Isn’t walkin' in glory

But such is the story

Of life!

I miss my baby so much

Guess I’ve got a touch of the blues!

I’m tired of horoscopin'

Wish the door would open

Bring me a wild surprise!

I wish the coast were clear now

Wish that he were here now

Lookin' up through half-close eyes!

It’s strange

How a world goes contrary

With one temporary

Goodbye!

One change

And I’m makin' up rhymes

Wonderin' how many times

Can I die?

I miss my baby so much

Guess I’ve got a touch of the blues!

It’s late

And I’m stuck with a heart

That is comin' apart

At the seams!

I hate

To be givin' the game up

But life is a frame-up

Of dreams!

I miss my baby so much

Guess I’ve got a touch o' the blues!

I got a touch

Guess I’ve got a touch o' the blues!
