I sing the blues
I sing the blues
I sing the heartache blues
life it can be hard
changing every day
this heart I have to guard
and this rain just won't go away
I sing the true blue blues
I sing the true blue blues
I spent all these nights dreamin' of you
it's been so long, since I've seen the sun
the places we'd go, the things we'd do
cryin' in the night, love you can't outrun
I sing the blues
I sing the blues
I sing the heartache blues
Life it can be hard
tell me what can I say
love is something I can't discard
sometimes there's a price to pay
I sing the true blue blues
I sing the true blue blues
were these dreams, those of a fool
wishin' for more than we could give
even the sweetest dream can be cruel
in my heart, the beat of love still lives
I sing the blues
I sing the blues
I sing the blues
I sing the heartache blues

Blue Tuesday - writing blue poetry
The deeper the love the bluer the loss! The repetition works very well.
ReplyDeleteRepetition helps bring out the blues. Thanks Dwight
DeleteI feel your blues here - sometimes the heartache just won't go!
ReplyDeleteI often listen to the blues, so this prompt moved me.
DeleteFitting for a certain blue guy no longer online with us.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, he will see it, one never knows.
DeleteTrue Blue... Two words that'll forever remind me of you. Hello True. Hello Alex.
DeleteHi Blue,
Deleteand blue is a shade that'll forever remind me of you..
The sun is shining in my neck of the woods. So now I'm thinking, "Will this summer be better than last year's?" What do you reckon, True?
DeleteBlue, I hope the sun keeps shining and we find ourselves basking in the warmth of the day...May it be so .....
DeleteIt’s gonna be a bright bright sun shiny day....sing with me Blue....
Beautiful blues, Trudessa, with a catchy refrain. I imagined it put to music.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim, a catchy refrain is good to have.
DeleteThis sounds like a country song....and just now I see Kim thought the same!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev, I do like to weave a song once in a while.
DeleteThis is killer True, you have written a poem that is a song. If you are unable to do so, find a musician friend or acquaintance that will help to put music to this. I wrote poetry for years with my band, and I would work with my keyboard player and lead guitarist to follow my singing the words, to them put a musical structure under it. I had the general composition of an arrangement idea in my head, but they helped me polish the formal structure as well, — introduction (intro), verses, pre-choruses, choruses (refrains), "middle eight" bridge, and often a play-out (outro). Over years I got reasonably effective working with various musicians — and I LOVED it. My two favorite arranging partners over the 25 years of iterations of my band were both keyboardists: Frank Talbert and David Dominy — sadly, both deceased. Sorry True, I’ve wandered. Excellent words you’ve written here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob, I appreciated you comment. It sounds like you have had an interesting life filled with music. No need to be sorry, I like where you wandered.
DeleteYes, it is a song........love so deep leaves deep heartache when it is lost...........sigh. An ache that never really goes away.
ReplyDeleteA song it may be. The lyrics came to me when I was drumming.
Deletei know this blue ~
ReplyDeleteYes, it’s a sad blue -
DeleteSad and well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra
Deletethe beat of love still lives
