Learnin’ the Blues Songtext
von Julie London

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 learnin′ the blues.

The cigarettes you light - one after another
Won′t help you forget him and the way that you love him.
You're only burnin′ a torch you can't lose,
But you′re on the right track for learnin' 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 when you don't sleep the whole night you′re cryin′,
But you can't forget him -- soon you even stop tryin′.
You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes;
When you feel your heart break. you′re learnin' the blues.

The nights when you don′t sleep the whole night you're cryin';
But you can′t forget him -- soon you even stop tryin′.
You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes;
When you feel your heart break, you′re learnin' the blues.

When you feel your heart break, you′re learnin' the blues.
