Lyrics
When I was young
I had friends and lovers
Mistresses and girlfriends
And a wife or two
But as I've grown older
As time's been passing
So have my friends
And my lovers too
But that's just life
I'm not complaining
I still have my music
Yeah I've still got the blues.
At night In my dreams
I see my dead friends
I see dead lovers
And my dear mother too
My aunts and uncles
And even my grandparents
They often drop by
For a word or two
My eyes are closed
But my visions clear
Because in the world of dreams
Only dreams are true
Sometimes these dreams
They bring me messages
Of things that I must
Pay Attention to
Sometimes they remind me
Of things I've forgetten
Or they inform of things
That I never knew
Sometimes these dreams
They make me so happy
But sometimes these dreams
Well they make me so blue.
When I was young
I had friends and lovers
Mistresses and girlfriends
And a wife or two
But as I've grown older
As time's been passing
So have my friends
And my lovers too
But that's just life
I'm not complaining
I still have my guitar,
Yeah I've still got the blues.
