about

Written by Bart de Win & Arianne Knegt
A sad love song with a typical seventies feel.

lyrics

Never sing the blues

Never thought I could feel this way on a quiet summer's day
Every step I tried to take I stumbled
All the love I could almost taste seemed to fade and go to waste
A perfect dream that slowly crumbled, but

I'll never sing the blues, I’ll never sing the blues
I’ll never sing the blues because of you
I'll never sing the blues, I’ll never sing the blues again
I’ll never sing the blues

We tried to ease the pain with all the words we used in vain
Everybody seemed to know a smart way
All the people that I couldn’t fight had to put me in a different light
I guess a lesson learned the hard way, but

I'll never sing the blues, I’ll never sing the blues
I’ll never sing the blues because of you, oh
This is how it's gotta be, whatever you decide
I know what is right for me and you
I'll never sing the blues, I’ll never sing the blues again
I’ll never sing the blues

I never gave in to the doubt when the choir was so loud
I'm sure it kept me from getting lost in the crowd

Every life's a dead-end street and love's the only fuel we need
You can't keep a living soul from trying, trying
