Billie Holiday (Eleanora Fagan Gough, Philadelphia, PA, April 7, 1915 – New York City, NY, July 17, 1959) was an American jazz singer and songwriter.
Nicknamed Lady Day by her loyal friend and musical partner Lester Young, Holiday was a highly original influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. Above all, she was admired for her deeply personal and intimate approach to singing.

__________________ / Billie Holiday / This song is from 1944 (!) and is about this girl who / Lover Man / needs a lover man, yeah. I'm to play it very soon with /_________________/ my little unplugged trio, it really has something to it!
[Verse 1] 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 you've been missin' Lover man, oh, where can you be?
[Verse 2] 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?
[Bridge] 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
[Verse 3] 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?
