Billie Holiday - Body And Soul Lyrics






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 doing 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 you're 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

    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
    I spend my days in longin'
    You know it's you that I'm longin'
    Oh! I tell you I mean it
    I'm all for you body and soul
    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
    My life a wreck you're making
    You know I'm yours for just to taking
    Oh! I tell you I mean it
    I'm all for you body and soul

    My days have grown so lonely
    For you I cry, for you dear only
    Oh! Why haven't you seen it
    I'm all for you body and soul
    I spend my days in longin'
    And it's for you that I am longin'
    Oh! I tell you I mean it
    I'm all for you body and soul
    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
    My life a hell you're making
    You know I'm yours for just to taking
    Oh! I tell you I mean it
    I'm all for you body and soul

    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
    I spend my days in longin'
    I'm wondering why it's me you're wronging
    I tell you I mean it
    I'm all for you body and soul
    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
    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
    What lies before me
    A future that's stormy
    A winter that's gray and cold
    Unless there's magic the end will be tragic
    And echo a tale that's been told so often
    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

  41. P.... P....

    Who's playing here? I love this

    P.... P....

    Are you asking who this is singing? The one and only Billie Holiday (lady Day) iconic jazz singer.. I'm not trying to come across rude.. I would just be baffled that someone anyone would not know of her.. ❣

    P.... P....

    @Shellet Carmack they most likely mean the saxophonist and/or rest of the band

    P.... P....

    Billie Holiday – vocals
    Ben Webster – Tenor Sax
    Barney Kessel – Guitar
    Harry "Sweets" Edison – Trumpet
    Jimmy Rowles – Piano
    Red Mitchell – Bass
    Alvin Stoller – Drums

  42. A.... J....

    Lyrics ?? Anyone typing lyrics out for this one?

    A.... J....

    My heart is sad and lonely!
    For you I sigh, for you dear only.
    Why haven't you seen it?
    I'm all for you, Body and Soul.
    I spend my days in longing,
    And wondering why it's me you're wronging.
    I tell you, I mean it,
    I'm all for you, Body and Soul!
    I can't believe it,
    Its hard to conceive it
    That you'd turn away romance.
    Are you pretending?
    It looks like the ending!--
    Unless, I can have
    One more chance to prove dear.
    My life a wreck you're making!
    You know I'm yours
    For just the taking
    I'd gladly surrender
    Myself to you, Body and Soul!

There was a world... a magic era... that has been a lucky musical world where Three Different Elements of the same miracle appeared to breathe life to an unrepeatable era ... quite at the same moment, three fabulous different enormous talent made complete the music scene with their three incredible ways of being unique: Holiday, Fitzgerald, Vaughan. God blessed you the moment you've been conceived... and maybe He started practicing long before, to be sure to do it right. Thanks. Truly yours Oysterpippo
