(M. Crenshaw) 

    

  Blues is king 

A beautiful thing 

You just don't know whenever you're done by the one you love 

And the joke's on you 

If you don't know it's true 

If you lose your dreams 

You'll know what I'm thinking of 

Yeah, blues is king 

so let it ring, 

Surrender do, to the sound so real and true 

And relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine 

Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it 

So face it, blues is king 

As the sun descends, rain begins 

Everything in view 

Is a dull shade of blue 

And the traffic sounds, the lights uptown 

Make a sad and uninviting scene to walk into 

But the blue of the night 

Everything in daylight 

Don't even begin, to be as blue as the mood I'm in 

You go out alone, on their way home 

I'm wandering on, remembering only 

That I'm lonely 

And blues is king 

Blues is king, 

A beautiful thing 

You just don't know whenever you're (torn) by the one you love 

And the joke's on you 

If you don't know it's true 

If you lose your dreams 

You'll know what I'm thinking of 

Yeah, blues is king, 

So let it ring 

Surrender do, to the sound so real and true 

Just relax your mind, 

Go on, you'll be fine 

Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it 

So face it, blues is king
