Ella Henderson - Billie Holiday lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I remember when daddy said 'what do you want to be?'

I said 'I want to be a mermaid, to live under the sea'

Well I knew it wouldn't work out as I looked down to my feet

Then my gran'dad paid me my very first record

And that's when it changed for me...

(Chorus)

It me smile, made me sing

Made my worries fly away

Setting me up, setting me free

I could be Billie Holiday

In the silence hard to think about

When in reality you gotta sit back

Just relax, and let it happen naturally

(Verse 2)

I went to sit by the keys

To work on my first songs

I had the melodies in my head

But they were comin' out all wrong

Then I worked out some harmonies, that went

And then that sweet sound spoke to me

And told where I belong

(Chorus)

It me smile, made me sing

Made my worries fly away

Setting me up, setting me free

I could be Billie Holiday

In the silence hard to think about

When in reality you gotta sit back

Just relax, and let it happen naturally

(Bridge)

Fly away so naturally

Toss the stress away

Cuz I know, yeah I know that

It'll make you feel alright

(Chorus)

It me smile, made me sing

Made my worries fly away

Setting me up, setting me free

I could be Billie Holiday

In the silence hard to think about

When in reality you gotta sit back

Just relax, and let it happen naturally

Gotta sit back

Just relax, and let it happen naturally

Gotta sit back

Just relax, and let it happen naturally

Gotta sit back

Just relax, and let it happen naturally

Gotta sit back

Just relax, and let it happen naturally
