Heartaches For A Day

A veil of sadness hangs around me for now he's gone
I search my mind to try to find what I did wrong
The cause he had for leaving me would not keep him away
If he had my heartaches for a day¨

Like a shadow old man lonesome follows me around
I know he's there even though he never makes a sound
The blues are just a state of mind no one would ever say
If they had my heartaches for a day

His leavin' cast an evil spell of magic all around
But if what they say is true he's happy now
His gay new world among the lights would quickly fade away
If he had my heartaches for a day

Like a shadow old man lonesome follows me around
I know he's there even though he never makes a sound
The blues are just a state of mind no one would ever say
If they had my heartaches for a day
