Life, Love & The Blues

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Life, love and the blues.

Hey, i've got something to tell you

Say, i wanna tell you about these three things.

First you have life.

You open your eyes and you have life.

Next, you look around and then you´re in love

I mean love.

And then see that nothing lasts forever,

The big b comes around and sucks you,

That is the mighty blues.

I lived my life with passion

I love the way i feel

What if i did it any other way,

It wouldn't be me.

Some say the road is easy

Others find it hard,

But i am here to tell you the news

Wouldn't mean nothing without the blues.

I said life, love and the blues.

Life, love and the blues.

I've been loved, been loved, left alone.

I've been had 'cause i've been bad,

Broke some hearts in my own.

I know the blues got me through,

I´m here to tell you, when you got the blues,

Oh, you're never, never alone.

I said, life, love and the blues.

Ain't nothing like life, sweet love and the blues.

First you have life,

You open your eyes and you're alive,

And then, next, you look around and then you´re in love.

I mean love.

And then here comes, here comes the big b,

The blues.

Yeah

Ain't nothing like, nothing like love and the blues.

Said life, sweet love and the blues.

Ain't nothing like, ain't nothing like the blues.

We've been in love, been in love

Left alone.

Ain't nothing like,

Nothing like life, sweet love, and the blues.

When you got the blues,

Ain't nothing like, ain't nothing like the blues

Wouldn't mean nothing without the blues

I said life, sweet love and the blues.

I'm here to tell you about life, love and the blues.
