(In My) Solitude

Billie Holiday · Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]

In my solitude you haunt me

With reveries of days gone by

In my solitude you taunt me

With memories that never die



I sit in my chair

Filled with despair

Nobody could be so sad

With gloom ev'rywhere

I sit and I stare

I know that I'll soon go mad



In my solitude

I'm praying

Dear Lord above

Send back my love
