Billie Holiday
I remember when Daddy said ‘What do you wanna be?’I said I wanna be a mermaid and to live under the seaWell I knew it wouldn’t work out as I looked down at my feetThen my granddad played me my very first recordAnd that’s when it changed for me
It made me smile, made me singMade my worries fly awayLifted me up, set me freeI could be Billie HolidayAnd they say life’s hard to figure out when in realityYou gotta sit back, just relaxAnd let it happen naturally
I went to sit by the keys to work on my first songI had the melodies in my headBut they were coming out all wrongThen I worked out some harmoniesThat went oh, oh, oh, oh, ohAnd then that sweet sound spoke to meAnd told me where I belong
It made me smile, made me singMade my worries fly awayLifted me up, set me freeI could be Billie HolidayAnd they say life’s hard to figure out when in realityYou gotta sit back, just relaxAnd let it happen naturally
Oh, fly awayOh, so naturallyOh, take the stress away‘Cause I know, yeah I knowIt’ll make you feel alright
It made me smile, made me singMade my worries fly awayLifted me up, set me freeI could be Billie HolidayAnd they say life’s hard to figure out when in realityYou gotta sit back, just relaxAnd let it happen naturally
Gotta sit back, just relax and let it happen naturallyGotta sit back, just relax and let it happen naturallyGotta sit back, just relax and let it happen naturallyGotta sit back, just relax and let it happen naturally
