I know it's hard to wait, but I gotta try
Cause one day soon, I'll see the clear blue sky
Chorus:
Cause I'm a patient with the blues
I'm not gonna lose
Yes, I'm a patient with the blues, and I'm not gonna lose
I'll keep on smiling and chase away the gloom

I'm not gonna lose
Verse:

I'll keep on smiling and chase away the gloom
I'll be strong and I'll hold on
To the hope that keeps me going on
Cause I'm a patient with the blues
I'm a patient with the blues
I'm a patient with the blues
And I'm not gonna lose
