I'll wake up and think of him
No matter what I do
He's always on my mind
A time and day or two
Seems to me the things you love the most
You always lose
But once you've got 'em
You've always got the blues
In time you may find someone else
That can comfort you
But not someone to light the fire
No, not the way he used to do
You lose the things that made it
What it was, when it was new
And once you've got 'em
You've always got the blues
A new love only can replace
Just so much of you
Then leaves a lot, then gets lost between
Number one and number two
I'll be here till midnight
Looking for someone to lose
Once you've got 'em
You've always got the blues
I'll be here till midnight
Looking for someone to lose
Yes, once you've got 'em
Well, you've always got the blues
No matter what I do
He's always on my mind
A time and day or two
Seems to me the things you love the most
You always lose
But once you've got 'em
You've always got the blues
In time you may find someone else
That can comfort you
But not someone to light the fire
No, not the way he used to do
You lose the things that made it
What it was, when it was new
And once you've got 'em
You've always got the blues
A new love only can replace
Just so much of you
Then leaves a lot, then gets lost between
Number one and number two
I'll be here till midnight
Looking for someone to lose
Once you've got 'em
You've always got the blues
I'll be here till midnight
Looking for someone to lose
Yes, once you've got 'em
Well, you've always got the blues
