Mickey Newbury You've Always Got The Blues by Mickey Newbury recording of 1982 from Love Me Tender (MCA MCAD-886), copyright notice I wake up and think of her No matter what I do She's always on my mind A time a day or two Seems to me the things you've loved the most You always lose But once you've got them You've always got the blues In time, well you may find someone else That can comfort you But not someone to light the fire No, not the way she used to do You lose the things that made it What it was when it was new And once you've got them You've always got the blues That new love only can replace Just so much of you That leaves a lot that gets lost between Number one and number two In time, well you may find someone else That can comfort you But not someone to light the fire No, not the way she used to do You lose the things that made it What it was when it was new And once you've got them You've always got the blues
