Hi, Ella recorded this at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1957. It can be found on the live album 'Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday at Newport' which was released in 1958 (also contains songs by Billie Holiday and Carmen McRae)

My heart is sad and lonely, For you i sigh, just for you dear only,

Why haven't you seen it?, I'm all for you, Body and Soul,

I spend my days in longing and wond'ring why it's me you're wronging,

I tell you I mean it, I'm all for you, Body and Soul.

I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it, that you'd turn away romance,

are you pretending?, it looks like the ending,

i wish i could have one more chance to prove, dear.

My life a wreck you're making, you know I'm yours for just the taking,

I'd gladly surrender myself to you, Body and Soul

Do you know where I could download this- I'm doing it for my year 12 music performance assessment, and getting a copy would be a great help! :)
