Tryin' To Forget The Blues

Boudleaux Bryant

© House Of Bryant, BMI

I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues
They're playin' lonely music on the jukebox
The song they're singin' makes me wanna cry
Cause it reminds that you've gone and left me
I feel a teardrop comin' to my eyes
I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues

I see two lovers laughin' in a corner
They're in the booth I used to share with you
He looks at her like she was straight from heaven
The very way I used to look at you
I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues
[ instrumental ]
The tear that's in my eye is gettin' bigger
I guess I'll have to go on home and hide
No want my friends to know how much you've hurt me
No want to show them how I feel inside
I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues
