Well, the mail don't come and the phone don't ring Lost all I had, lost everything But now you're gone what can I do I'm gonna take time out for the blues Baby, you don't know what you've done to me You've filled my life with misery I keep walking the floor, I wore out my shoes I'm gonna take time, time out for the blues Yeah, when I come home you was never there You didn't think, you didn't care But it's too late now, honey, I've got some news I'm gonna take time out for the blues Just a photograph that's signed with love I'll kiss it too or a little hug That's all I have that's part of you I'm gonna take time, time out for the blues
