Rosemary Clooney - Learnin' The Blues lyrics

The tables are empty The dance floor's deserted You play the same love song It's the tenth time you've heard it That's the beginning Just one of the clues You've had your first lesson In learning the blues The cigarettes you light One after the other Won't help you forget him And the way that you love him You're only burning A torch you can't lose But you're on the right track For learning the blues When you're at home, alone The blues will taunt you constantly; When you're out in a crowd The blues will haunt your memory The nights that you don't sleep The whole night you're crying Won't help you forget him Soon you'll even stop trying! You'll walk the floor And wear out your shoes; When you feel your heart break You're learning the blues
