I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues They're playin' lonely music on the jukebox The song they're singin' makes me want to cry Cause it reminds that you've gone and left me I feel a teardrop comin' to my eyes I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues I see two lovers laughin' in a corner they're in the booth I used to share with you He looks at her like she was straight from heaven the very way I used to look at you I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues [ steel ] The tear that's in my eye is gettin' bigger I guess I'll have to go on home and hide No want my friends to know how much you've hurt me No want to show them how I feel inside I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues
