"An Old Piano Plays The Blues" lyrics

The clock is striking
Guess it must be two
My baby left me for somebody new
I've been here playing
Since she said we're through
An old piano plays the blues

The clock is striking
Guess it must be three
My room is lonely as a room can be
I'm improvising
On a memory
An old piano plays the blues

Each evening since we met
We were a close duet
From dusk until the moon would glow
And though she's gone I find
She's hanging around my mind
I guess I'm not the kind to do a solo

The clock is striking
Lord, it can't be four
Perhaps I'd better
Lock the downstairs door
The one I play for
Will be here no more
An old piano plays the blues

I guess I'd better lock the door
She won't be coming back no more
An old piano plays the blues
An old piano plays the blues
