Lady Day

Her day was born in shades of blue

Her song was sad, the words were true

Her morning came too fast, too soon

And died before the afternoonPoor lady day could use some love, some sunshine

Lady day has too much rain

Poor lady day could use some spring, some breezes

Lady day has too much painIt's such a lonely face, it's such a cloudy sky

So many shadows in her eye, so many empty dreams

So many bitter times, just a handful of broken rhymesPoor lady day could use a smile, some kindness

Lady day has too much rain

Poor lady day could use some dreams, some flowers

Lady day has too much pain
