And even why I've laid the telephone to rest I sit and wonder when we spoke who said it best I wish I were upon a bird that's flyin' west And little things like love and softness in your eyes Would help me rest Is there a way to sing the blues A way to win, a way to lose And down befallen goes, and graves that leaves Are days away from home Still the time returns to play Although I told her that you're gone Still that sweet burden Take me where we both belong And then I'll tell you 'bout our love And how it turned into a song Is there a way to sing the blues A way to win, a way to lose Is there a way to sing the blues Understanding comes to those Who take the time to wonder why Face the truth and just to know What you can do with open eyes Sometimes you're feeling Like no life can justify You're on you own You can't lay down, you pack your case And write your feelings in the sky Is there a way to sing the blues A way to win, a way to lose Is there a way to sing the blues Is there a way to sing the blues A way to win, a way to lose I found a way to sing the blues Without the pain of knowing why I write my feelings on the sky In the sky Oh I found a way to sing the blues I found a way to sing the blues A way to win, a way to lose And even when I laid the telephone to rest
