Blue Prelude
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.
Let me sigh, let me cry
When I'm blue
Let me go way from this lonely town
Won't be long for my song
Will be thru
Cause I know I'm on my last go-round
All the love I could steal beg or borrow
Wouldn't heal all this pain in my soul
What is love but a prelude to sorrow
With heartache ahead for your goal
Here I go, now you know
Why I'm leaving
Got the blues
What can I lose
Good-bye
What is love but a prelude to sorrow
With heartache ahead for your goal
I got the blues
What can I lose
Good-bye
