Well, I've just been thinkin' things over
How I have loved you for years
My life just don't seem worth livin'
Since you have left me in tears

CHORUS
My skies have all turned to gray now
And I just walk the soles offa my shoes
Since you've been gone my heart's broken
And I'm just knee-deep in the blues

<instrumental CHORUS break with whistling>

Well, I've just been thinkin' things over
How I have loved you for years
My life just don't seem worth livin'
Since you have left me in tears

SECOND CHORUS:
You ask me why I've been cryin'
It's 'cause I've lost 'bout all I can lose
Since you've been gone I've quit tryin'
And I'm just knee-deep in the blues
