One day from the month, I first met you,
your promises proved to be untrue
Step by step, I've been a fool
That's why I'm two steps from the blues
Here is a chance to be loved or be lonely,
my heart awaits your call
I know it's better to have loved and lost,
than never have loved at all
The reason we didn't get along,
was telegram and telephone
One brings badness, the other rendevouz
That keeps me two steps from the blues
So darling let's try and make amends,
and if it should fail, let's try and try again
It makes no difference what you say or do,
I'm so forgiving, I'm so forgiving
I can't stand living two steps from the blues
