Billie Holiday
Body and Soul (Live at Philharmonic Hall, Los Angeles, 1945)
[Verse 1]
My days have grown so lonely
For you I cry, for you, dear, only
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you body and soul
[Verse 2]
I spend my days in longing
I'm wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
[Bridge]
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd throw away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I can have one more chance to prove, dear
[Verse 3]
My life a hell you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you, body and soul
[Bridge]
What lies before me?
The future looks stormy
A wintеr that's gray and cold
Unless there's magic
Thе end will be tragic
And echo a tale that's been told so often
[Verse 4]
My life revolves about you
What earthly good am I without you?
Oh, I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
[Outro]
Thank you, thank you
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen
