lyrics

I can’t help it when I hear it in my sleep,
Cry of the sax lying on the backbeat
Your ghosts lingers across the dance floor
But then it fades I can’t see you no more

I wish you could stay
For as long as I need you too
So I can say
All the things that I feel about you
‘til the day
When the sun comes shining through
Lets run away
But still the blues are here to stay

Light breaks through to the cold side of the bed
The impression of a man regrets the things he said
Her closing words get lost in the night
He missed his chance to put their love right

I wish you could stay
For as long as I need you too
So I can say
All the things that I feel about you
‘til the day
When the sun comes shining through
Lets run away
But still the blues are here to stay

Every week we’d dance the night away
The bass slaps and the keyboards play
And I still hear them when I’m lying in my bed
Can’t get the kickdrum outta my head

So lets stay
For as long as you want us to
Just wanna say
All the things that I feel about you
‘til the day
when the sun comes shining through
Let’s run away
The blues get better every day

We’ve had our turn dealing with blues
Heartbreak’s a bitch from every point of view
The disco’s open and I'm turning up for you
I’m here for all the things that you put me through

So lets stay
For as long as you want us to
Just wanna say
All the things that I feel about you
‘til the day
When the sun comes shining through
And we could run away
I think I’ll be alright someday
