Learnin' the Blues

Learnin' the Blues - Julie London (朱莉·倫敦)

The tables are empty

The dance floor's deserted;

You play the same love song

It's the tenth time you've heard it

That's the beginning

Just one of the clues;

You've had your first lesson

In learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light

One after another

Won't help you forget him

And the way that you love him

You're only burnin' a torch

You can't lose

But you're on the right track

For learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone

The blues will taunt you constantly;

When you're out in a crowd

The blues will haunt your memory

The nights that you don't sleep

The whole night you're cryin'

But you help forget him

Soon you even stop tryin'

You'll walk that floor

And wear out your shoes;

When you feel your heart break

You're learnin' the blues
