Lyrics When the Lady Sings the Blues - Vince Gill

When this old world gets the, the best of me
Life don't come quite so easily
The only thing that brings a little peace to me
Is when the lady sings the blues

The wolves keep knocking on my front door (my front door)
I just can't seem to pay the rent no more
The one thing that I keep longing for (longing for)
Is when the lady sings the blues

Singin' 'bout the hard time, standin' in the silver line
Prayin' help is on the way
Feelin' kind of helpless, hopin' for some kindness
Waitin' on that sunshiny day

Just when I think I'm gonna, gonna come on wild
Feels like the walls just start toppling down
The one thing that keeps me hanging around (hanging around)
Is when the lady sings the blues

Singin' 'bout the hard time, standin' in the silver line
Prayin' help is on the way
Feelin' kind of helpless, hopin' for some kindness
Waitin' on that sunshiny day

"Good Morning, Heartache" by Lady 'Day
"God Bless The Child", who chased my blues away
And "Ain't Nobody's Business" gonna get me through
When the lady sings the blues

Ain't it nice what a little moonlight can do?
When the lady sings the blues
When the lady sings the blues
When the lady sings the blues
