Billie Holiday lyrics

I remember when Daddy said ‘What do you wanna be?’

I said I wanna be a mermaid and to live under the sea

Well I knew it wouldn’t work out as I looked down at my feet

Then my granddad played me my very first record

And that’s when it changed for me

It made me smile, made me sing

Made my worries fly away

Lifted me up, set me free

I could be Billie Holiday

And they say life’s hard to figure out when in reality

You gotta sit back, just relax

And let it happen naturally

I went to sit by the keys to work on my first song

I had the melodies in my head

But they were coming out all wrong

Then I worked out some harmonies

That went oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And then that sweet sound spoke to me

And told me where I belong

It made me smile, made me sing

Made my worries fly away

Lifted me up, set me free

I could be Billie Holiday

And they say life’s hard to figure out when in reality

You gotta sit back, just relax

And let it happen naturally

Oh, fly away

Oh, so naturally

Oh, take the stress away

‘Cause I know, yeah I know

It’ll make you feel alright

It made me smile, made me sing

Made my worries fly away

Lifted me up, set me free

I could be Billie Holiday

And they say life’s hard to figure out when in reality

You gotta sit back, just relax

And let it happen naturally

Gotta sit back, just relax and let it happen naturally

Gotta sit back, just relax and let it happen naturally

Gotta sit back, just relax and let it happen naturally

Gotta sit back, just relax and let it happen naturally
