Today I Sing the Blues

Without a word of warning The blues walked in this morning And circled aroundnd my lonely room I didn't know why I had That sad and lonely feeling Until my baby said we're through Yesterday this time, I sang a love song But today I'm singin' the blues Now, I know the explanation But to me that's no consolation No, no, it just goes to show you No matter how your love Everybody's got to lose And since I've lost I'd rather walk around and worry I guess I just walked the darkest avenues Yesterday this time, I sang a love song But today, my story's a little different, people I'm singing the blues, yeah, yeah, yeah Now it strikes me kind of funny How love can be this way 'Cause we were lovers last night, honey Oh, but I'm sittin' alone again today And it strikes me kind of funny, yeah How faith can be so unfair 'Cause I seem to come out on the losin' end Of every, every love affair, yeah It's got to be written somewhere for me That I should be the one to always lose But yesterday at this time, I sang a love song Oh, oh, right now I'm singin' the blues, yeah, yeah I'm singin' the blues --- Today I Sing The Blues - Aretha Franklin
