"Solitude" lyrics
(originally by Billie Holiday)
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
There's no one could be so sad, no
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm prayin'
"Dear Lord above
Send back my love"
I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I think I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm prayin'
"Dear Lord, dear Lord above
Send me back my love"
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
There's no one could be so sad, no
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm prayin'
"Dear Lord above
Send back my love"
I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I think I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm prayin'
"Dear Lord, dear Lord above
Send me back my love"
