Since you've been gone, I got no one
Since you've been gone, my nights are too long
I can run and hide but it ain't no use
Later tonight I've got a rendezvous with the blues

Well, day after day, this old rain keeps on fallin'
Night after night, I try to forget
Well, you loved me like nobody else could do
Now, all I've got here is a rendezvous with the blues

Time goes by so slowly, the clock says ten past two
But I can't sleep 'cause I gotta keep my rendezvous with the blues

Well, the telephone keeps on ringin', why can't that be you?
Pick it up too late, now I gotta to make my rendezvous with the blues

Since you've been gone, I still got no one
Since you've been gone, my nights are too long
I could run and hide but it ain't no use
'Cause I've got to go and keep my rendezvous with the blues

Well, you love me like nobody else can do
But all I've got is this rendezvous with the blues
Talkin' 'bout a rendezvous
Talkin' 'bout a rendezvous with the blues
Talking 'bout a rendezvous, hey, hey
Oh
Talkin' 'bout a rendezvous
