If you've never had to count a million sheep Then you've never been blue, never been blue If you've never had to cry yourself to sleep Then you've never been blue, never been blue I know I could go on laughing and troubled Plain trouble But when it concerns the heart The pain seems doubled Never worry about a little hurt or two There's nothing at all bothering you If you've never had a pal who stole your gal Then you've never known you've never been blue Something that this life will mind is plain, honey That's funny When you're miles away from home It's not so sunny No one ever knows what I go through While someone at home is babying you If you've never had to miss a goodnight kiss Then you've never known you've never been blue
