Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Used to be so easy to fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love was more than just a game
You're playin' to win
But you lose just the same
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you.
10 Juli 2023 menanti kehadiranmu. 13 September 2020 dulu menanti kehadiran kakakmu. Di pintu kamar operasi rumah sakit yang berbeda. Daddy blues itu masih ada.Â
Dalam penantian di antaranya, samar-samar lirik lagu bergenre blues "Still got the blues" yang dinyanyikan Gary Moore terdengar mengiringi kecemasan ayah kala itu.Â
Dulu begitu sulitnya menghadapi kehadiranmu. Menyiapkan segalanya bahkan nama terbaik agar kelak tumbuh kembangmu sempurna. Berharap menjadi manusia sukses dan berguna.Â
Baik, patuh, taat, berani, cerdas, bernas dan berbakti pada orang tua, agama serta negara. Harapan yang tentunya menjadi harapan semua orang tua di dunia.Â
Tetapi itu terlalu sempurna. Sementara ayah memulainya dengan cara yang sulit di waktu yang tak semestinya dalam kondisi yang jauh dari sempurna.Â
