From the recording The Love Songs Of Dario Cohen

Lyrics


I used to live for fortune
I used to play for beer
Waiting every day for my dream to appear
Now the night is drawing near
I used to laugh
I used to love
But now I know, now I know the blues

I still look at pretty girls
But they don’t look back at me
Not The way they did when I was twenty-three
Maybe, my day is done
I used to Laugh
I used to love
But now I know, now I know the blues

Now I know the blues
On a first name basis
It follows me home
It haunts my favorite places
Friends like this I don’t need
I may never break free
Now I know, Now I can Feel them,
Yes, there so real, yes I know, these blues

Bonnie had a Clyde
At least before they died
IN that hail of gunfire, on that fateful last ride
Some things aren’t meant to last
I used to laugh
I used to Love
I used to do a lot of things I don’t do anymore, because I just can’t
Because, Since the day you left me Darling, Now I know the Blues
But now I know, now I know the blues
