Walking round my floor, Lord, watching out my door
Wondering what I am to do
Crying on my pillow, weeping like a willow
Looking at a deeper shade of blue

This ain't the first time I've seen the blues
This is the worst kind of pain I ever knew
It's a heart-breaking, love-taking aching without you
Looking at a deeper shade of blue

Loving you too much and living for your touch
Trying hard not to face the truth
Yearning with desire, burning like a fire
Looking at a deeper shade of blue

This ain't the first time I've seen the blues
This is the worst kind of pain I ever knew
It's a heart-breaking, love-taking aching without you
Looking at a deeper shade of blue

This ain't the first time I've seen the blues
This is the worst kind of pain I ever knew
It's a heart-breaking, love-taking aching without you
Looking at a deeper shade of blue
