Say Goodnight to the Blues

When I close my eyes her memory lies beside me

So I dedicate nights to drink by drink wipe my mind clean

They say time heals all wounds

But I don’t think that it’s true

One more is never enough

To say goodnight to the blues

There was a time when her heart and mine beat as one

We improvised lines in effortless rhyme till the day was done

When one heart splits in two

There’s more than a lover to lose

God I wish I could find enough hope

To say goodnight to the blues

There’s a place that I know

That only the lonely can know

Where the clock moves too slow

And memory won’t let you go

I’m not naive enough to believe life’s fair

Or that God would receive the plea that I scream into the air

But O God if You do

I raise this glass to You

Here’s to the prayer You refuse

To let me say goodnight to the blues
