Lyrics

When the moon's kinda dreamy
Starry eyed and creamy
And nights are luscious and long
If you're kinda lonely
And all by your only
Then nothin' but the blues are brewin'
The blues are brewin'

When the wind through the willows
Blows across your pillow
And tells you sleepin' is wrong
If love goes a thirsting
Till you feel like bursting
Then nothing but the blues are brewin'
The blues are brewin'

Suppose you want somebody
But you ain't got nobody
You only have a gleam in your eyes
Till somebody's found you
And put their lovin' arms around you
You've got the feelin' you want to die

But when the lord up above you
Sends someone to love you
The blues are something you lose
Cause you're so busy doing
The things that you are doing
That love ain't got no time
For brewin'
No time for brewin' the blues
