You've Got a Date With the Blues

When the magic flame isn't quite the same When your friends ask you, "Haven't you heard the news?" When it's all over town that your castle fell down You've got a date with the blues If he used to say, "I'll call everyday" But now he's beginning to pick and choose That's your warning, my friend, you're approaching the end You've got a date with the blues If he used to be exclusively yours Right at your beck and call But now he's only elusively yours You know that soon he won't be yours at all When he says goodbye, better ask him why 'Cause you know now you haven't a thing to lose And the last time you part, when he hands back your heart You've got a date with the blues If he promised you he'd be there at eight Then wandered in at ten Resign yourself to the obvious fate It's clear that you may never meet again When he turns aside, don't forget your pride Never yearn for a kiss that he might refuse Out of sight, out of mind, let him go, else you'll find You've got a date with the blues
