I couldn't wait to see you - waiting by the door
There's no one there to meet me - and your clothes are on the floor
Sorry if I hurt you - and I made you cry
Couldn't stand to see you - with another guy
It's the bluest blues - and it cuts me like a knife
It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of my life
Couldn't really tell you - how you hurt my pride
Something broke within me - down inside
I never knew I loved you - til you went away
Now the loneliness surrounds me - everyday
It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of the door
It's the bluest blues - cause I won't see you no more
I'm sorry if I failed you - if somehow I'm to blame
It's the bluest blues I'm feeling - it's a cryin' shame
I just can't live without you - face another day
It's the bluest blues I'm feeling, and it's here to stay
It's the bluest blues, and it cuts me to the bone
It's the bluest blues, when you can't find your way home

I saw him and band Ten Years After in 1969 and 1973................or the J.Geils Band...............this amazing...........and they both wer great to see in concert...........they were amazing............
Lee is in my opinion was and still is the best guitar player in the world hands down, right along with J.Geils
Lee and company and Geils may not have had a lot of #1 hits...............but that is not the criteria for being in the Hall...............

Alvin Lee kicked ass! I couldn't believe it when I heard he died. What a loss.

It was about three weeks after Woodstock so it went pretty much unnoticed.
Saw him a couple of times after that. Helluva guitar player and as fast as he was I never heard him make a mistake.
