2 steps from the blues

One month from the day I first met you
Your promises proved to be untrue
So step by step, I've been a fool
That keeps me two steps from the blues

The reason we didn't get along
Was telegrams and telephone
It makes no difference what you say or do
That keeps me two steps from the blues

There’s a chance to be loved or be lonely
My heart awaits your call
I know it's better to have loved and lost
Than to never have loved at all

So, darling, let's try to make amends
And if we should fail, let's try and try again
It makes no difference what you say or do
I'm so forgiving, I'm so forgiving
But I can't go on living two steps from the blues
