The Meaning of the Blues Lyrics

Do you know what it means to walk alone
And what it means to be, be by yourself?
Do you know what it means when there′s
No one to bring you good news?
Then you know, you know the meaning of the blues

Do you know what it means to cry alone
And what it means to cry by yourself?
Do you know what it means to love a woman you can't hold?
If you do, you know the meaning of the blues

I′ve been weeping and weeping, moaning and moaning
Crying inside all the day
I've been hiding my tears, feeling like dying
Wishing love would come to stay
And do you know what it means when the Lord has taken away?
I cry, Lord, I cry, oh, I cry every day

Yes, I know what it means to walk alone
And how it feels to walk by myself
Yes, I know what it means to love a woman you can't hold
Yes, I do, I know the meaning of the blues
Yes, I know the meaning of the blues
