Too Long, Too Blue

from Faces by Jane Fallon

/

lyrics

I met a man in Boston, heard him sing the blues in faded denim
and white T-shirt and ragged running shoes.
Said he had just one regret, the girl he'd left behind.
And no matter how he tried and believe me he had tried couldn't get her off of his mind.
I said if I had a telephone and you could call the girl today, and if you had a minute,
just one minute tell me what you'd say:
Too long, too blue, baby, too lonely too, tonight. too much to do tomorrow,
too late, too sad to write.
I meant a girl in Memphis, guitar in her hand,
said she was a back-up singer in a country/western band.
Said she had just one regret, the boy she's left behind.
And no matter how she tried and believe me she had tried couldn't get him off of her mind
I said if I had a telephone and you could call that boy today,
and if you had a minute, just one minute, tell me what you'd say:
Too long, too blue, baby, too lonely too, tonight. too much to do tomorrow,
too late, too sad to write.
Got off the bus in Nashville, found a telephone, dialed your number and held my breath and prayed you'd be a home. Said I have just one regret, that I left you behind.
And no matter how I try and believe me I have tried can 't get you off of my mind.
So I found me a telephone and I'm calling you today, and if you have a minute,
just one minute, here's what I must say:
Too long, too blue, baby, too lonely too, tonight. too much to do tomorrow,
too late, too sad to write.
