BILLIE HOLIDAY - THE BLUES ARE BREWIN' lyrics

rate me

Eddie DeLange / Louis Alter

When the moon's kinda dreamy

Starry eyed and dreamy

And nights are luscious and long

If you're kinda lonely

Then nothin' but the blues are brewin'

The blues are brewin'

When the wind through the window

Blows across your pillow

And tells you sleepin' is wrong

If love goes a thirsting

Till you feel like bursting

Then nothing but the blues are brewin'

The blues are brewin'

Suppose you want somebody

But you ain't got nobody

You only got a gleam in your eyes

Till somebody's found you

And put their lovin' arms around you

You got the feelin' you want to die

But when the Lord up above you

Sends someone to love you

The blues are something you lose

You're so busy doing

The things that you're doing

That love ain't got no time

For brewin' the blues
