Take away my Blues

Riaan Smit 1988 (Windhoek)

Lyric
You know I've been searching
For someone just like you
You got a certain something
You make me do things I don’t want to do

I hope to seek & I'll find a woman as kind as you
So won’t you come along and take away my blues

My hearts been burning
And you lit the flames
What I am to you?
Is this just a game?

Because then I'll play each & every day
Won’t you come along & take away my blues

Babe won’t you save me from this lonesome life
I need someone to show me that I'm still alive

I'll stand there for you in everything you do
So you won’t you come along and take away my blues

Save me
