He still tells her that she’s pretty
And his kiss comes right on cue
Still she knows that something’s changed
But when she asks him to explain
He says it’s just the blues.

So she’s trying to be perfect 
And to disregard the clues
As long as he is staying 
She’ll believe in what he’s saying
When he says it’s just the blues

She’s so fearful of the day
That he’ll come right out and say
That the sweet love they took for granted
Has faded away

So she tries to play along
As if nothing was wrong
But her heart is slowly breaking
And she can’t pretend for long

She’s softly weeping at the table
As he reads the morning news
When he finally glances at her
And says Darlin’ what’s the matter.
She says it’s just the blues.
