A nocturne for the blues, played on a broken heart string; 
It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me.
Dark shadows in the rain, a telephone that won't ring;
Just memories remain of lovers that used to be.
I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun, 
When I was the one, one and only; 
The music and lights, those wonderful nights, 
The morning mist, the time we kissed; 
The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun, 
They're over and done and I'm lonely. 
Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak inside 
The gleaming spark is gone the light went dark.
This nocturne for the blues took all and left me nothin', 
Nothin' but the blues till baby comes back to me.
