Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Billie, you're a miracle
And God knows I need one
Sing me something terrible
That even dawn may come
You and me
We don't believe in happy endings
[Chorus]
Hey, Lady Day
Can you save my life this time?
Can you cry so beautifully
You make my troubles rhyme?
[Chorus]
Hey, Lady Day
Can you save my life again?
My only love has gone away
Will you be my only friend?
[Verse 2]
Billie, you're a genius
Enough to be a fool
A fool to gamble everything
And never know the rules
Some of us can only live
In songs of love and trouble
Some of us can only live in bubbles
[Chorus]
Hey, Lady Day
Can you save my life this time?
Can you cry so beautifully
You make my troubles rhyme?
[Chorus]
Hey, Lady Day
Can you save my life again?
My only love has gone away
Will you be my only friend?
