Billie Holiday - When Your Lover Has Gone Lyrics






When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies?
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours with memories lingering
Like faded flowers life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies?
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours with memories lingering
Like faded flowers life can't mean anything
When your lover, when your lover has gone

Billie Holiday When Your Lover Has Gone Comments
  1. s.... ....

    I'm here because I love this song. I just learned from browsing many versions of it, comments have noted the James Dean reference. It's a jazz standard, so it is a well loved song. Fitting song for James Dean. :)

    couldve ended music if soul didnt get plucked...

  3. W.... J....

    Billie Holiday recorded this 8-23-55, so James Dean got to enjoy it for a little over a month. Wonderful tune, shows he had excellent taste.

    Guitar – Barney Kessel
    Piano – Jimmy Rowles
    Trumpet – Harry Edison

    its nice to think that this is a song James Dean had listened to and also enjoyed the mellow tunes of, gives u a small but still an insight of how he might have been as a person, instead of just how he was painted by the Hollywood marketing masterminds.

  13. S.... B....

    I love that everyone is here for James Dean too

  15. R.... F....

    LIKE THE REST,I'm Here Because of James Byron Dean/Jimmy Dean/ Little Prince

  16. c.... ....

    This was recorded late in her career and shows the effects of drugs and alcohol on her once pristine voice. Still her delivery is impressive and is unmistakable. There will never be another Billie Holiday.

  17. a.... j....

  18. I.... F....

    R.I.P James. I love you with all my heart. 🌹❤️🌹

  19. m.... I....

    I came to this song because I wanted to hear what type of songs Jimmy liked. Now I'm glad I came here. I absolutely love this song. It's pretty relaxing and sounds great.

    m.... I....

    like Jimmy

  20. J.... C....

    This makes me think of Jimmy and Pierangeli's relationship, considering that this was recorded in 1955.

  21. B.... M....

    Oh Missing you James

  22. A.... C....

    It's a beautiful song, and I love her voice but I'm here for Jimmy <3.
    Maybe he listened this song reading a book or driving his car...Mmm. Who knows.

  23. A.... C....

    James dean :)

  24. m.... ....

  25. A.... S....

    Billie's genius brought me here :)

  26. t.... ....

     Mezhdu nebom i zemljoj pesnja razdajotsja,
     Neiskhodnoju strujoj
      gromche gromche ljotsja.
     Ne vidat' pevca polej gde pojot tak gromko,
     Nad podruzhen'koj svojej zhavoronok zvonkij.
     
     Veter pesenku nesjot, 
      a komu, ne znaet.
     Ta komy, ona pojmjot, ot kovo, uznajet!
     Lejcja, pesenka moja pesn' nadezhdy sladkoj
     Kto-to vspomnit pro menja 
      i vzdokhnjot ukradkoj.
