There's a baby crying A newborn who won't be content When he becomes a man He'll wonder where his childhood went He'll feel the pain of life Choke his last breath Life is no bed of roses These things he will confess
Life is the blues Nothing we can do Life is the blues Nothing more to loose
The last time he saw his wife She was marching out to sea He was cruel and crazy She was beautiful she's been set free Lines on her face The pain of reality He broke her heart Then left her alone to be
Life is the blues Nothing we can do Life is the blues Nothing more to loose
All this guilt he holds within He let her slip away It's too late to say those things She needed to hear him say He never said I love you I want you to stay He'd give his soul to relive that day He heard his son singing
Life is the blues Nothing we can do Life is the blues Nothing more to loose
