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 afternoon

Poor 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 pain

It's such a lonely face

Such a cloud

Such a cloudy sky

So many shadows in her eye

So many empty dreams

So many bitter times

Just a handful

Of broken rhymes

Poor 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

Just too much to say

Just to much to know

Too little time to say hello

And then the evening comes

And now she doesn't cry

And it's t

And now she doesn't cry

And it's too late to say

Good-bye
