The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia CD 1

Lyrics:

If you were mine
I could be a ruler of kings
And if you were mine
I could do such wonderful things
I'd say to a star
Stop where you are
Light up my lover's way
And every star above you
Would obey, say
If you were mine
I would live for your love alone
To kneel at your shrine
I would give up all that I own
Yes even my heart
Even my life
I'd trade it all for you
And think I was lucky too
If you were mine

  • God her voice is divine!

  • These are some pretty good songs. ^^

  • @keda96 I wish i could dance with a girl :)

  • I'd say to a star

    Stop where you are

    Light up my lover's way

    And every star above you

    Would obey, say

    If you were mine

    I would live for your love alone

    I so wanna tell him all these. But, whether I do it or not, he'll never be mine....

  • @keda96 are you hot?

  • ...I'm Travelin alone...By the Desolate docks." How in high school could they prefer MC Hammer to this???? See that's the difference between a fad, and a Legend. And a CLASSIC!

    ILOVE YOU BILLIE HOLIDAY!

  • Been listening to BH since 15. . Named after Billie Dove. Wrote on her in college. My very very fav. Fav track on that classic CD collection I had of her. And ..."Away from the City, That Hurts And Mocks...." You know...Back in high school, they couldn't understand why I was listening to her and Jazz.

  • Why are there no jazz clubs where I live. It sucks.

    This lady never gets old <3

  • such a marvellous song

  • nice! (Y)

  • This song just makes me want to dance. Billie Holiday is truely remarkable and amazing. Her voice is amazing.

  • There are so many great aspects to this song that I love: Billie's realistic portrayal of longing for that someone, the wonderful lyrics, and the music that just carries you away. I hum this song to myself from time to time...

  • what a wondeful song

  • I have this song on a 78 record...I would love to be able to listen to how it sounds. I don't have a record player though :(

  • Love love love!
