Baby's Got the Blues - Larry Norman

You know my baby’s got the blues, and I don’t know what to do

I don’t know what to say, should I go away

And pray for her sorrow?

She sits there all alone, as silent as a stone

And I don’t know how to help, should I keep it to myself

And wait for tomorrow?

And if I knew how to reach her where the waters run deep

I would give her the words that would help her to sleep

At night she lays in bed with secrets in her head

With pain too deep for words, nothing can be heard

But the sound of her breathing

Mercies and angels up above

Heaven please help the one I love

Guide the direction that she goes

Watch every step, each stone

Please let her know she’s not alone

Give her the strength to trust in everything she knows

I’ve stayed up late at night, my head bowed in the light

And what I think at last is the problems in her past

Are the reason she’s leaving

And if I knew what was missing, if I knew what was best

I would give her the words that would help her to rest

If she goes away, should I try and make her stay

'Til her night becomes day and these deep shadows blow away

'Cause heaven knows my heart is so confused

My baby’s got the blues
