I wake up and think of her   No matter what I do   She's always on my mind   A time a day or two      Seems to me the things you've loved the most   You always lose   But once you've got them   You've always got the blues      In time, well you may find someone else   That can comfort you   But not someone to light the fire   No, not the way she used to do      You lose the things that made it   What it was when it was new   And once you've got them   You've always got the blues      That new love only can replace   Just so much of you   That leaves a lot that gets lost between   Number one and number two      In time, well you may find someone else   That can comfort you   But not someone to light the fire   No, not the way she used to do      You lose the things that made it   What it was when it was new   And once you've got them   You've always got the blues
