[1] Though the miles are between us I thought our love would strengthen
As it had so [5] many times be-[1]-fore
But something has happened, I can see it in your writin'
I can tell my world is crumblin' and the [5] blues are at my [1] door

The last letter that you wrote was on a blue piece of paper
That old feelin's back, the [5] clouds are moving [1] in
The beginning of the end is near, I feel your love is fadin'
Into [4] darkness, it seems I have no [1] friend
I [4] feel the blues moving [1] in

Oh it's not the word you wrote that made me sad and broken hearted
And put me in the sad shape I'm in
Between the lines are mixed emotions and there's teardrops on the paper
And you said that's all I write today, I'll close for now old friend

My state of mind is desperate and the hole that I'm sinking in
Gets deeper while I'm diggin' to get out
Oh please give the right answer to the question I'm askin'
Tell me you still love me, that would turn my world about
