Linda Ronstadt

Songwriter: Gordon Jenkins Joe Bishop

Producer: John Boylan George Massenburg

Let me cry, let me sigh when I'm blue
Let me go away from this lonesome town
Won't be long till my song here is through
And I know I'm on my last go round
All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Couldn't heal all this pain in my soul

What is love but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak ahead as your goal
Here I go
Now you know why I'm leaving
I got the blues
What can I lose?
Goodbye!

All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Couldn't heal all this pain in my soul

What is love but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak ahead as your goal
Here I go
Now you know why I'm leaving
I got the blues
What can I lose?
Goodbye!
Adieu! to you
Goodbye!
