Блюз блюзов

[Intro - Clean guitar with subtle chorus]

[Verse 1]
Used to think that love would always be so pure,
Never knew the price I'd have to pay for sure.
I was young and foolish, didn't understand,
That a heart can break so easily, like shifting sand.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the years have passed me by,
Still I wonder, still I ask why.

[Chorus]
So long, it's been so long,
But I still feel this way.
The days go on and on,
But the memory will stay.

[Verse 2]
Thought I'd find a way to leave the past behind,
But every night I see your face inside my mind.
Time won't heal the wound that cuts so deep,
Only music helps me when I cannot sleep.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the years have passed me by,
Still I wonder, still I ask why.

[Chorus]
So long, it's been so long,
But I still feel this way.
The days go on and on,
But the memory will stay.

[Bridge]
So many nights I've tried to find,
A way to ease this aching heart of mine.
But your love it haunts me through the years,
And it still brings me to tears.

[Guitar Solo - 16 bars, melodic, emotional, wide bends, singing tone]

[Final Chorus]
So long, it's been so long,
But I still feel this way.
The days go on and on,
But the memory will stay.

[Outro - Clean guitar fades]
(spoken, fading)
The memory will stay...
