Lyrics

When the moon's kinda dreamy Starry eyed and dreamy And nights are luscious and long If you're kinda lonely And all by your only 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 'Til 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 'Til somebody's found you And puts 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 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 The blues
