Nina Simone - Blue Prelude

Let me sigh, let me cry when I'm blue
Let me go away from this lonely town
Won't be long till my sun will be blue
'Cause I know I'm on my last go round.
All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Wouldn't heal all the pain in my soul.

What is love? Only a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal
Here I go - now you know why I'm leaving.
Got the blues. what can I lose? goodbye!

What is love? but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal
Here I go - now you know why I'm leaving.
I got the blues. what can I lose? goodbye!
