Billie Holiday - Nice work if you can get it

Tekst :

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that is nt necessarily sunny

Likewise the man who works for fame
There s no guarantee that time won t erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boys meant
Fall in love you won t regret it
Thats the best work of all if you can get it

Holding hands at midnight
Neath the starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Scrolling with the one girl
Sighing after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagen someone waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for more
Loving one who loves you
And taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if
Won t you tell me how?

  • If my heart could only talk
  • A sailboat in the moonlight
  • How am I to know
  • God bless the child
  • More than you know
  • Romance in the dark
  • P.S. I love you
  • Miss Brown to you
  • Some other spring
  • Farewell to storyville
  • Strange fruit
  • Body and soul
  • Jeepers creepers
  • Georgia on my mind
  • Do your duty

    Against the grain

    You need not, to climb mountaintops
    You need not, to cross the sea
    You need not, to find a cure
    for everything that makes you weak.

    You need not to reach for the stars,
    when life becomes so dark
    and when the wind
    does blow against the grain
    you must follow your heart
    you must follow your heart

    when all...

    Hard to handle

    Baby here I am
    I m the man on your scene
    I can give you what you want
    But you gotta come home with me

    I forgot some good old lovin
    And I got some more in store
    When you ve...

    Let me have you, girl

    You say you ve got no reason why
    to get up and say goodbye
    but listen hard I Iet you know
    just one night and you won t go

    I don t wanna hear you
    I heard it all before
    just give me one good reason
    to not walk...

    Dla niego

    Nigdy się nie dowiesz, czy czuł się podobnie
    czy teraz wyjątkowo jak nigdy przed tobą,
    wiesz
    że nie jesteś pierwsza i wierzysz najlepsza
    ale po co, wybacz, tak się porównywać
    dla niego

    Wszystkie jesteśmy podobne
    w tym że się różnimy
    wszystkie...

    Seems so long ago

    Sat in the park just the other day
    Saw little children about their way
    The innocence mirrored in a little face
    Took me back far away

    Remembered when I was about that small
    The park looked the same, but the trees seemed tall
    Running and playing was my big concern
    It took a while taking in it...
