Lyrics
Blues For A Lady
I know she likes the blues
Heavy on the bass
The lily-white flower with amazing grace
And a heart so big
I?ve got to wear shades
This is the blues for a lady
I?ve caught her tapping her toes
Like she was on a dance floor
Hearing that music in her head
Just slightly moving, slightly grooving
Only I would have noticed
The light inside that she gave
This is the blues for a lady
Chorus
I swear, she saved my life
I swear, she saved my life
Slow and steady
Soft and hard
It takes quite a woman to balance that weight
Ooh, and them those eyes
How they look through you
The truth is all you can say
The light inside that she gave
This is the blues for a lady
Chorus
I swear, she saved my life
I swear, she saved my life
