When you told me you were leaving

[Ptah]

You know it almost came as good news
It may sound funny but it's true
I think I'm better off with the blues

1. My dear Ptah......

This is a melancholy little bit......

Did you write it?

It's sweet and melancholy......

love you.....:hug:

[Ptah]

2. I think It was written by Delbert McLinton

Since you've been gone, I've had time to myself
Haven't even tried to find somebody else
When you told me you were leavin'
You know it almost came as good news...
It may sound funny but it's true
Ah think I'm better off with the blues.

Now I must admit, that I miss you sometime
Not a day goes by, that you don't cross my mind
But at the same time, ah think of all the hell you put me through...
Yeah it's the lesser of two evils
Ah think I'm better off with the blues.

I know someday I'll wake up
And these blues will be gone
I'll forget about you and how everything went wrong
But if you had'a stayed, I'd be dead in my tracks
Now I still love you baby, but I don't want you back!

Tonight I'm gonna go down to the sadder side of town
Listen to a ____ of blues when the sun goes down
And I'll know just what to say, when someone asks about you...
Ah say, yeah we had our good times
But I think I'm better off with the blues.

Yeah if I had to choose
I'd say I'm better off with the blues.

3. What was in your heart and mind that made you post this?

4. It's on my regular play list.

I enjoy the blues, can't sing 'em or play 'em
but I sure get some comfort from them.

I'm now listening to Ray Charles, 'Georgia on my mind'
