Still Got The Blues
Gary Moore · Legacy [2012]
Used to be so easy
To give my heart away
But I found that the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love is no friend of mine
I should have known time after time
So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Used to be so easy
To fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love is more than just a game
Playing to win
But to lose just the same
So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
So many years since I've seen your face
You will my heart
there's an empty space
Where you used to be
So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Oh the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you
To give my heart away
But I found that the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love is no friend of mine
I should have known time after time
So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Used to be so easy
To fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love is more than just a game
Playing to win
But to lose just the same
So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
So many years since I've seen your face
You will my heart
there's an empty space
Where you used to be
So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Oh the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you
