Cole Porter’s Blues Lyrics
We stood by the Ark / just us two
Above the stars / were fringed with blue
The waves crashed down over our heads
Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m alive or dead
For no one can-feel like I do
When I’ve got Cole Porter’s Blues
Some may say that I’ve / lost my mind
I need to be / loved by your kind
My life is a fight to be true
Sometimes it feels like my mind is-split in two
You don’t want to be in my shoes
When I’ve got Cole Porter’s Blues
Blues in the morning
The Blues when I rise
Blues in the ev’ning
When I close my eyes
I feel the turning of the screw
With these damned Cole Porter’s Blues
From now on the sun / will not shine
Never was yours / and you weren’t mine
I did all I could to please you
Sometimes I wish you could see my-point of view
The scars are starting to show through
Can’t hide these Cole Porter’s Blues
Just don’t kiss me Kate
Don’t you fence me in
For the day is late
And night tastes of gin
I guess it’s something we all knew
You’re born with Cole Porter’s Blues
Paul Robert Thomas
