I can 't
sleep in the morning,
and I lie awake all night long.
My head's achin',
my hands are shakin',
everything I do is wrong.
Since my daddy left me,
all that I had is gone.
He said that he still loved me,
but I knew it wasn't so.
He started getting restless
and I started feeling low.
Just what he planned on doing,
I really didn't know.
Till he packed his things and left me,
and I had to let him go.
Then I discovered life is a
long nightmare.
When you've lost your lover,
blues hits you everywhere.
I
don't go to any parties,
I walk the floor at home.
I'm scared of meeting people,
I would rather be alone.
I play the same old records,
the ones he left behind,
and I sit and kiss his picture
till I'm about to lose my mind.
I've discovered nobody seems
to care.
When you've lost your lover,
blues hits you everywhere.
I headed for the river,
but I kept on turning back
I bought me a revolver,
but I didn't half the knack.
It's hard to go on living,
but I guess I'll have to try,
cause it may be hard to live,
but it's so final when you die.
I've discovered life is a
long nightmare,
when you've lost your lover,
Blues hits you everywhere
