You know my baby's got the blues And I don't know what to do I don't know what to say Should I go away And pray for her sorrow
She sits there all alone As silent as a stone And I don't know how to help Should I keep it to myself And wait for tomorrow
And if I knew how to reach her where the waters run deep I would give her the words that would help her to sleep
Baby's been so strong But maybe for too long Oh she tries so hard to hide The mystery inside But it cuts to the marrow
And if I knew what was missing if I knew what was best I would give her the peace that would help her to rest
At night she lays in bed With secrets in her head With pain too deep for words And nothing can be heard But the sound of her breathing
Mercies and angels up above heaven please help the one I love Guide the direction that she goes Watch every step, each hidden stone please let her know she's not alone Give her the strength to trust in everything she knows
I've stayed up late at night My head bowed in the light And what I think at last Is the problems in her past Are the reason she's leaving
And if I knew how to reach her where the waters run deep She wouldn't have the blues she wouldn't have the blues
You know my baby's got the blues And I don't know what to do If she goes away Should I try and make her stay Till her night becomes day And this deep sadness Blows away 'Cause heaven knows My heart is confused 'Cause my baby's got the blues
Ya know my baby's got the blues Oh baby's got the blues yeh yeh Baby's got the blue oh And I don't know what to do, no no no Baby's got the blues
