Solitude, lyric by Billie Holiday

from the songs album Billie Holiday - The Complete Decca Sessions

Duke ellington / eddie delange / irving mills

In my solitude
You haunt me
With dreadful ease
Of days gone by

In my solitude
You taunt me
With memories
That never die

I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and i stare
I know that i'll soon go mad

In my solitude
I'm afraid
Dear lord above
Send back my love
