Body and Soul - Billie Holiday, Billie Holiday Orchestra

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 doingg 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 your’e 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
