I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues

Don't wish it away

Don't look at it like it's forever

And between you and me I can honestly say

Things can only get better


And while I'm away

Dust out the demons inside

And it won't be long before you and me run

To the place in our hearts where we hide


And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues


Just stare into space

Picture my face in your hands

Live for each second without hesitation

And never forget I'm your man


Wait on me girl

And cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself


Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
