Blue for Billie Holiday Lyrics

Like an angel she could sing -
But she had a broken wing
What a heavy price to pay
This here's the blues for Billie Holliday

Simple gowns all she'd wear
With one gardenia in her hair
I remember her that way
This is the blues for Billie Holliday

Her heart was always on hr sleeve
All too soon she had to leave
Like a child she went astray
I sing the blues for Billie Holliday

I just heard her voice again
Like an echo in the wind
Man, there's nothin' left to say
I sing the blues for Billie Holliday
