Billie Holiday - Say It With A Kiss

Billie Holiday - Say It With A Kiss

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIeMtJ6BRJ0

Johnny Mercer / Harry Warren

Let me hear you say it
Say it with a kiss
It you mean that look I've seen
Say it with a kiss
There is wine and candle shine
And music in your lips
Music in the tops
Of your fingertips


Words may not convey it
Say it with a kiss
And your look might speak a book
That my eyes might miss
You don't have to know the words
To love's familiar tune
Say it with a kiss
And say it soon

Billie Holiday - I've Got A Date With A Dream

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7qKUuQfLFA&feature=youtu.be

I've got a date with a dream
A dream divine
I've got a date with a dream
Who may be mine

I've got to hurry and dress
To meet him at seven
When any old corner becomes a corner
Of heaven, blue heaven

I'm gonna dance with a dream
We'll dance on air
I'm gonna speak to a dream
And tell him I care

And when the evening is over
I'll kiss him goodnight and then
I'll have a date with a dream
And meet him all over again

Billie Holiday - P.S. I Love You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjLQ34PIjgA&feature=related

Dear, I thought I drop a line	Querida, eu pensei que eu deixar cair uma linha
The weather is cool	O clima é fresco
The fooks are fine	O fooks são muito bem
I'm in bed each night at nine	Eu estou na cama a cada noite, às nove
PS I love you	PS Eu te amo
Yesterday we had some rain	Ontem tivemos alguma chuva
But all in all I can't complain	Mas no todo eu não posso reclamar
Was it dusty on the train	Foi empoeirado no trem
PS I love you	PS Eu te amo
Write to the Brown's just as soon as you're able	Escreva para o Brown é só assim que você é capaz
They came around to call	Eles vieram em torno de chamar
And not burn a hole in the dining room table	E não queimar um furo na mesa de jantar
Now let me think; I guess that's all	Agora deixe-me pensar, eu acho que é tudo
Nothing else for me to say	Nada mais para mim dizer
And so I'll close, but by the way	E assim eu vou fechar, mas pelo caminho
Everybody's thinking of you	Pensamento de todos vocês
P.S. I love you	PS Eu te amo

Billie Holiday - As Time Goes By

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYoet7-qDHI&feature=related

You must remember this

A kiss is still a kiss

A sigh is just a sigh

The fundamental things apply

As time goes by

And when two lovers woo

They still say I love you

On that you can rely

No matter what the future brings

As time goes by

Moonlight and lovesongs

Never out of date

Hearts filled with passion

Jealousy and hate

Woman needs man

And man must have his mate

That no one can deny

It's still the same old story

A fight for love and glory

A case of do or die

Though I will always welcome lovers

As time goes by

Moonlight and lovesongs

Never out of date

Hearts filled with passion

Jealousy and hate

Woman needs man

And man must have his mate

That no one can deny

It's still the same old story

A fight for love and glory

A case of do or die

Though I will always welcome lovers

As time goes by

Billie Holiday e Lester Young - Fine and Mellow

Billie Holiday e Lester Young - Fine and Mellow


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtgUbJN8oPE&feature=share

My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man he don't love me
Treats me awfully
He's the, lowest man
That I've ever see

He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow

But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat

Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong

But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday

But you're so mean to me baby
I know you're gonna drive me away

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on

Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

Billie Holiday - Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzb-HmY6-sM

Oh listen, sister
I love my mister man and I can't tell you why
Dere ain't no reason why I should love dat man
It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan
De chimbley's smokin'
De roof is leakin' in
But he don't seem to care
He can be happy
With jes' a sip of gin
I even loves him when his kisses got gin

Fish got to swim and birds got to fly
I got to love man till I die
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
Tell me he's lazy
Tell me he's slow
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe, I know
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
When he goes away
Dat's a rainy day
And when he comes back dat day is fine
The sun will shine
He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

Billie Holiday - Please Keep Me In Your Dreams

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLOIt5bmn9M&feature=share


Please keep me in your dreams
In your sweet dreams let me hold you
When through your window
The breeze comes swingin'
It's just bringin' this love song that I'm singin'
Please keep me in your dreams
My kiss it seems must have told you
My heart you'll borrow until tomorrow
So please keep me in your dreams

Billie Holiday - You Go To My Head

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xZ_uHXydq4&feature=share



You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be

You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

Billie Holiday - I'm Gonna Lock My Heart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKxE9x6_MqY&feature=relmfu




I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I'm wise to all those tricks you played on me
I'm gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snob the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can't get in
Park my romance right alone the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
"Please don't disturb"
And if I never fall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw the key

And it I never tall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I!m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

I'll never fall in love again
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

Billie Holiday - I Thought About You

I took a trip on a train
And I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And I thought about you

Two or three cars arked under the stars
A winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream

And every stop that we made, oh, I thought about you
When I pulled down the shade then I really felt blue
I peeked through the crack, looked at the track
The one going back to you
And what did I do?
I thought about you

Billie Holiday - Prelude To A Kiss

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyGkEFAe_0U&feature=share 



If you hear
A song in blue
Like a flower crying
For the dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss

If you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss

Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy
Nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch

Oh how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss 

Billie Holiday - Sophisticated Lady

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r4jLwjj_Ik&feature=share 

They say into
Your early life
Romance came
And in this heart
Of yours
Burned a flame
A flame
That flickered
One day
And died away

Then
With disillusion
Deep in your eyes
You learned
That fools in love
Soon grow wise
The years
Have changed you
Somehow
I see you now

Smoking, drinking
Never thinking
Of tomorrow
Nonchalant
Diamonds shining
Dancing, dining
With some man
In a restaurant
Is that all
You really want?

No
Sophisticated lady
I know
You miss the love
You lost long ago
And when nobody
Is nigh you cry

Is that all
You really want?

No
Sophisticated lady
I know
You miss the heart
You lost long ago
And when nobody
Is nigh you cry

Billie Holiday - Tenderly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSfb908m_d4&feature=share


The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me insideYou took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

Billie Holiday - Night & Day (1940)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Huejqu5qgE0&feature=share 

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 its torment won't be trough
'Till you spent my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day

Blue Moon - Billie Holiday

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iD1yQIGIKE&feature=youtu.be

Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love on my own.

Blue moon,
You knew just what i was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Somebody i realy could care for.

And then there suddenly appeared before me,
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "please adore me."
And when i looked,
The moon had turned to gold.

Blue moon,
Now i'm lo longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love on my own.

Billie Holiday - All of me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P0hG3sD0-E&feature=fvwrel

All of me
Why not take all of me?
Can't you see?
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll 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?

All of me
Why not take all of me?
Can't you see?
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them

Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on, dear, without you?
You took the best
So, why not take the rest?
Baby, take all of me.

Billie Holiday - P.S. I Love You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjLQ34PIjgA&feature=share


Dear, I thought I'd drop a line
The weather's cool, the folks are fine
I'm in bed each night at nine
P.S. I love youYesterday we had some rain
But, all in all, I can't complain
Was it dusty on the train?
P.S. I love youWrite to the Browns just as soon as you're able
They came around to call
I burned a hole in the dining room table
Let me see, I think that's allNothing more for me to say
And so I'll close but, by the way
Everybody's thinking of you
P.S. I love you
