One month from the day I first met you Your promises proved to be untrue So step by step, I've been a fool That keeps me two steps from the blues The reason we didn't get along Was telegrams and telephone It makes no difference what you say or do That keeps me two steps from the blues There’s 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 we should fail, let's try and try again It makes no difference what you say or do I'm so forgiving, I'm so forgiving But I can't go on living two steps from the blues
