Billie Holiday - Beautiful Ballads & Love Songs [compilation] (2008) by Billie Holiday (보컬) on maniadb.com

wished on the moon
For something I never knew
Wished on the moon
For more than I ever knew
A sweeter rose, a softer sky
On april days that would not dance by
I begged on the stars
To throw me a beam or two
Wished on the stars
And asked for a dream or two
I looked for every loveliness
It all came true
I wished on the moon for you

"If you were mine
I could be a ruler of kings
And if you were mine
I could do such wonderful things
I'd say to the stars
'Stop where you are
Light up my lover's way'
And every star above you would obey

If you were mine
I would live for your love alone
To kneel at your shrine
I would give up all that I own
Yes, even my heart
Even my life
I'd trade it all for you
And think I was lucky too
If you were mine"

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
Still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin'words
That told you what my heart meant
A fair ground painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you

You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of march that made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

Summertime
and the livin' is easy
fish are jumpin
and the cotton is high
oh your daddy's rich
and your ma is good lookin'
so hush little baby
don't you cry

One of these mornin's
you're goin' to rise up singin'
yes you'll spread your wings
and you'll take to the sky
but til' that mornin'
theres nothin' can harm you
with daddy and mammy
standin' by

summertime
and the livin' is easy
fish are jumpin'
and the cotton is high
oh your daddy's rich
and you ma is good lookin'
so hush little baby
don't you cry

Living for you, is easy living.
It's easy to live when you're in love.
And, I'm so in love,
There's nothing in life, but you.

I'll never regret the years I'm giving.
They're easy to give when you're in love.
I'm happy to do whatever I do, for you.

For you...maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun.
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand.
Darling, it's grand.
They just don't understand.

Living for you is easy living.
It's easy to live when you're in love.
And, I'm so in love,
There's nothing in life, but you.

The snow is snowin'
The wind is blowin'
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm

I can't remember
A worst December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form
I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat
Off with my gloves
I need no overcoat
I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire
The flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm

(bridge)

My heart's on fire
The flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
Give you the break you need

More than you know
More than you know
Man o' my heart
I love you so
Lately I find
You're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right
Whether you're wrong
Man o' my heart
I'll string along
You need me so
More than you'll ever know
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But, honey, I can't live without it
Oh, how I'd cry
Oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know

The Man I Love_

(George and Ira Gershwin)

Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
Then in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
That's meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man I love...

You''re making me blue

All that you do

Seems unfair

You try not to hear

Turn a deaf ear

To my prayer

It seems you don''t want to see

What you are doingg to me

My arms are waiting to caress you

And to my heart they long to press you, sweet heart



My heart is sad and lonely

For you I cry

For you, dear, only

I tell you I mean it

I''m all for you

Body and soul



I spend my days in longing

And wondering it''s me you''re wronging

Why haven''t you seen it

I''m all for you

Body and soul



I can''t believe it

It hard to conceive it

That you''d turn away romance

Are you pretending

Don''t say it''s the ending

I wish I could have one more change to prove, dear

My life a hell your''e making

You know I''m yours for just the taking

I''d gladly surrender

Myself to you

Body and soul



Life''s dreary for me

Day''s seem to be long as years

I''ve looked for the sun

But can see none

Through my tears

Your heart must be like a stone

To leave me like this alone

When you could make my life worth living

By taking what I''m set on giving, sweet heart



My heart is sad and lonely

For you I cry

For you, dear, only

I tell you I mean it

I''m all for you

Body and soul

Sammy Kahn / Saul Chaplin / Mann Holiner / Alberta Nichols / L.E. Freeman

I'd wait for you
I'd slave for you
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

I'd gladly move
The earth for you
To prove my love, dear
And its worth for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along.

With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you darling
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?

I'd lie for you
I'd sigh for you
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you baby
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?

I'd lie for you
I'd cry for you
I'd lay my body down and die tor you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

Cole porter

Like the beat, beat, beat of the tomtom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops
When the summer show'r is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you

Night and day you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and sun
Whether near me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day


Day and night

Why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day

Night and day under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And it's torment won't be trough
'till you spent my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day

All of me
Why not take all of me
Cant you see
Im no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
Ill never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me
