Two Steps from the Blues

One month from the day I first met you

Your promises proved to be untrue

Step by step, I've been a fool

Now, I'm just two steps from the blues

The reason we didn't get along

Were telegrams and telephone

One bring bad news, other wonder news

That keep me two steps from the blues

Now is my chance to be loved or be lonely

My heart awaits your call

I know it's better to have loved and lost

Than to never have loved at all

So, darling, let's try to make amends

And if it should fail, we'll try and try again

It makes no difference what you say or do

I'm so forgiving, I'm so forgiving

And I can't go on living two steps from the blues
