Ain't Gonna Be Blue

from The State of Swing by Jack's Cats

lyrics

Ain’t gonna be lonely, ain’t gonna be gloomy.
Ain’t gonna grow sad an’ old.

Ain’t gonna go walkin’ down the road of life without a hand to hold.
Ain’t Gonna Be Blue, not since that man said, “I love you.”

They’ll say that I’m happy; they’ll say that I’m lucky;
“He started her on her way.”

I’ve found my very best joy — a sweet little boy. It just happened today.
Ain’t Gonna Be Blue, not since that man said, “I love you.”

Oh, I never thought I, no matter how I’d try,
would find myself such a friend.
I didn’t think he, could ever care for me,
but now it’s ‘parently quite plain to see.

We’re gonna be happy. We’re gonna be lucky.
We finally found our way. And now no matter what comes, he’ll be right there with me. It’s gonna be swell, I’ll say.
We ain’t gonna be blue, not since we said I love you.
