Two Steps From The Blues Lyrics - Bobby Blue Bland

One month from the day I first met you 

Your promises proved to be untrue 

So step by step, I've been a fool 

Now I'm just two steps from the blues 

The reason we didn't get along 

Was telegrams and telephone 

One brings bad news, the other rendezvous 

That keeps me two steps from the blues 

Here is a chance to be loved or be lonely 

My heart awaits your call 

I know it's better to have loved and lost 

Than to never have loved at all 

So, darling, let's try to make amends 

And if it should fail, let's try and try again 

Oh, it makes no difference what you say or do 

I'm so forgiving, I'm so forgiving 

And I can't go on living two steps from the blues
