Lyrics
Blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes
Blues before sunrise, with tears standing in my eyes
It was a halo feeling, boy, I do despise
Nobody know what a shape I'm in
Nobody know what a shape I'm in
My wife had left me, left me for another man
Seven long years, Lord knows I tried
There are things I couldn't get along with my wife
Oh, blues before sunrise, with tears standing in my eyes
A halo feeling, boy, I do despise, yes-yes
I lost everything, everything I ever owned
I lost everything, everything I ever owned
For seven long years, seven long years, I tried to get along
Blues before sunrise, with tears in my eyes
Ah, tears down in my eyes-
Writer(s): Leroy Authur Carr
