My story begins   Where most stories end   After the boy gets the girl      It didn't work out for me   And I'm blue as I can be   It's the mighty lonesome old world      Who was a fool that said   "There's blues skies ahead   After the boy gets the girl?"      The only blues I've seen   Is the blues from broken dreams   It's the mighty lonesome old world      I think I'll fall back again   To where my heartache began   Back when your love for me was true      But time moves along   Carryin' not who's right or wrong   After the boy gets the girl      A love once sweet and true   Is the no love prove untrue   It's the mighty lonesome old world      I think I'll fall back again   To where my heartache began   Back when your love for me was true      But time moves along   Carryin' not who's right or wrong   After the boy gets the girl      A love once sweet and true   Is the no love prove untrue   It's the mighty lonesome old world
