Billie Holiday - It's Like Reaching For The Moon Lyrics






It's like reaching for the moon
It's like reaching for the sun
It's like reaching for the stars
Reaching for you

You're so far above me
How can I expect an angel to love me
Who is so divine as you are?

It's like flying without wings
Playing fiddle without strings
And a million other things
No one can do
Though, my hopes are slender
In my secret heart I pray you'll surrender soon
Though, it's like reaching for the moon

    The Goddess of Swing, Miss Brown to you, the one and only Billie Holiday.

    Her voice is so manificent on this track. Just loveliness and feeling that touches me so deeply.

  11. j.... b....

    this and 'They Say' are ny absolute favourites of
    Ms Holiday's songs ❤

  12. t.... ....

    I sampled this wonderful piece of music history and I think I did a good job since I tried to leave enough room for this great song to add its distinct feeling and merging it into something more modern. Feel free to check it out :)

  16. D.... ....

    Absolutamente' Fabuloso!

  17. F.... ....

    Orig. issue on Brunswick 7702 (78rpm), w/ Guess Who. Recorded in New York, 30 JUN 1936. (I Cried for You & These Foolish Things were both recorded at this session, too.)
    Jonah Jones tp/ Johnny Hodges as/ Harry Carney cl, bari/ Teddy Wilson p/ Lawrence Lucie g/ John Kirby b/ Cozy Cole d/ Billie Holiday voc. :I:

    F.... ....

    A lineup to die for...cookin' with gas...Harry wanted his baritone to sound like Rollini's bass sax.  And Jonah Jones takin us home.  She-ite!

    F.... ....

    I thought it was Lester Young on the sax -- Johnny Hodges did an splendid job.

    F.... ....

    What a band, what a voice!

  18. M.... ....

    one of my favorites from that period ... sing it Lady Day!

    M.... ....

    So deep....

  19. M.... D....

    the emotional load she put in her singing is so good.. I don't think any singer will be able to imitate this, I just feel it! she's one of the best!

    M.... D....

    many tries though. One of the very few who can sing songs jazzly and still sharp. She is in my top5.

  20. P.... K....

    simply a work of genius
