Two Steps from the Blues

Two Steps from the Blues - Bobby Bland (鮑比·布蘭德)

One month from the day

I first met you

Your promises proved

To be untrue

So step by step

I've been a fool

Now I'm just two steps

From the blues

The reason we didn't get along

Was telegrams and telephone

One brings bad news

The other rendezvous

That keeps me two steps

From the blues

Here is a chance to be loved

Or be lonely

My heart awaits your call

I know it's better

To have loved and lost

Than never have loved at all

So darling

Let's try to make amends

And if it should fail

Let's try and try again

Oh it makes no difference

What you say or do

I'm so forgiving

I'm so forgiving

And I can't go on living
