BLUES IN MY HEART
(Mills, Carter) 
Louis Baccon (with Chick Webb & His Orchestra) - March 30, 1931


What can I do 
Now that you say we're through? 
I'm left with the blues in my heart. 

How can I smile 
When love don't seem worthwhile? 
I'm left with the blues in my heart. 

How can I live? 
What is there life can give 
As long as we're apart? 

How can I go on 
Knowing that you are gone? 
I'm left with the blues in my heart

What can I do
Now that you say we're through?
I'm left with the blues in my heart.

How can I smile
What can I do
Now that you say we're through?
You left me with the blues in my heart!
How can I smile?
Nothing in life seems worthwhile;
You left me with the blues in my heart!

How can I live?
What is there life can give
As long as we're apart?
How can I go on,
Knowing that you have gone?
You left me with the blues in my heart!

How can I live?
What is there life can give
As long as we're apart?
How can I go on,
Knowing that you have gone?
You left me with the blues in my heart!

I'm so unhappy, I don't know what to do,
The words you've spoken have left me sad and blue!
You left me,
You left me with the blues in my heart!
