Billie Holiday - LOVER MAN (OH, WHERE CAN YOU BE?) (The Billie Holiday Songbook)

Jimmy Davis / Ram Ramirez / James Sherman

I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissin'
Oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

The night is cold and I'm so alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing
Oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

Norah Jones - Lover Man (04:15)
Rare unreleased performance of the popular jazz standard by Norah Jones. I added the bit about her
performing this song live to her wikipedia entry way back in the day, and today I decided ah, what
the hell, might as well upload her version as I think some of her covers/standards ABSOLUTELY NEED
to be heard. As you all probably know, this song is best known as being performed by Billie Holiday,

3	I grew up listening to the only and only Billie Holiday, her voice is timeless, it moves me just like it did when i first heard her, many moons ago in good old east London. I adore her Autor: TheLorraine64
4	Une interprétation jazzy unique bien plus jolie que la version originale Française. Billie avait une voix chaleureuse et inimitable. Elle nous manque. Autor: ThePhilippeFRANC
5	Yes, Billy Holiday always went for the bad guy in the crowd...and yes she could cuss and fight just as good as a man. So in a way she could hold her own in any crowd of people. She once faught a man who made negative remarks about her race and spit on her fur coat. Ms. Holiday was one hell'ave woman if you ask me. She had to be, she lived during the time of Jim Crow.
