when this old world gets the the best of me life don t come quite so easily the only thing that brings a little peace to me is when the lady sings the blues the worlds keep knocking on my front door i just can t seem to pay the rent no more the one thing that i keep longing for is when the lady sings the blues singing bout the hard time standing in the silver line praying help is on the way feeling kind of helpless hoping for some kindness waiting on that sunshiny day just when i think i m gonna gonna come on wild feels like the walls just start toppling down the one thing that keeps me hanging around is when the lady sings the blues good morning heartache by lady day god bless the child who chased my blues away and ain t nobody s business gonna get me through when the lady sings the blues ain t it nice what a little moonlight can do when the lady sings the blues
