I FEEL THE BLUES MOVING IN
Del McCoury
As sung by Del McCoury on "Don't Stop the Music" (1990)

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

CHORUS: The last letter that you wrote was on a blue piece o' paper.
That old feelin's back; the clouds are movin' in'.
The beginning of the end is near; I fear love is faded.
In the darkness it seems I have no friend.
I feel the blues moving in.

2. Oh, it's not the words you wrote that made me sad and brokenhearted
And put me in this 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'll write today; I'll close for now, old friend."

3. My state o' mind is desp'rate, an' the hole that I'm sinkin' 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.
