Blog Challenge Day 16 — A Song That Makes You Cry (Or Nearly)

Blue Moon With Heartache
By: Rosanne Cash
.
(Yes, I know her father Johnny Cash
had nothing to do with this song
but it is such a great picture I had to use it.)

[The part of the song where it gets to me is the start of the chorus,
"What would I give, to be a diamond in your eyes again."]
.

Blue Moon out my window, guess this means goodnight
then you come in and start right in, not treating me right
well misery's a ball, and all its company
I'll play the victim for you honey, but not for free

I run into that heartache just like a wall
and act like nothing has happened to me, nothing at all
lately I'm amazed, at how blind we can be
lately even dreaming feels like old reality

what would I give, to be a diamond in your eyes again
what would I give, to bring back those old times
what did I say, to make your cold heart beat this way
maybe I'll just go away to stay

maybe I'll just go away
maybe I'll just go away

and i don't care who's waiting, at my front door
you know that life don't hold no glamour anymore
how can it all look so right, but feel so wrong
i'll play the victim for you honey, but not for long

what would I give, to be a diamond in your eyes again
what would I give, to bring back those old times
what did I say, to make your past turn up this way
maybe I'll just go away today

maybe I'll just go away
maybe I'll just go away
maybe I'll just go away to stay...
