Hey, hey, Michael won't you play the blues for me
Hey, hey, Michael won't you play the blues for me
To hear you play would be so heavenly
Hey, hey, Michael I bet you're over on cloud nine
Hey, hey, Michael I bet you're over on cloud nine
Playing blues for the angels and blowin' everybody's mind
I can still remember
Seems like yesterday
Down at the nite club
Where we used to play
Now your chair is empty
Your guitar left untuned
And it hurts so bad now
To not hear you play the blues
Hey, hey, Michael won't you play some blues for me
to hear you play would be so heavenly
