Today I Sing the Blues - Helen Humes

Without a word of warnin'

The blues came in this mornin'

And circled around my lonely room

I didn't know why I had that sad 'n lonely feelin'

Until my baby called and said were through

Why yesterday I sang a love song

But today I'm singing the blues

I know the explanation

But that's no consolation

No matter how you love

You can lose and

Since I lost i've got to walk around and worry

And Walk along the darkest avenues

Cause yesterday I sang a love song

But today I'm singing the blues

Now it strikes me kinda funny

That life should be this way

To be so much and love last night

And alone again today

But it was be writen for me that fate should be unfair

'Cos I come out on the losin' end in every love affair

Yes it must be written for me

That I should always be the one to lose

Why yesterday I sang a love song

But today I'm singing the blues
