Lyrics

[Intro] Now presenting our first vocal star of the evening An incomparable, all-American girl singer Miss Billie Holiday [Verse 1] Do nothing 'til you hear from me Pay no attention to what's said Why people tear the seams of anyone's dreams Is over my head Do nothing 'til you hear from me At least consider our romance If you should take the word of others you've heard I haven't a chance [Bridge] True, I've been seen with someone new But does that mean that I'm untrue? When we're apart the words in my heart Reveal how I feel about you [Verse 2] Some kiss may cloud my memory And other arms may hold a thrill But please do nothing 'til you hear it from me And you never will [Bridge] True, I've been seen with someone new But does that mean that I'm untrue? When we're apart the words in my heart Reveal how I feel about you [Verse 3] Some kiss may cloud my memory And other arms may hold a thrill But please do nothing 'til you hear it from me And you never will Do nothing 'til you hear from me [Verse 4] I'll get by as long as I have you Though there be rain and darkness too I'll not complain, I'll laugh it through Poverty may come to me, that's true But what care I? I'll get by As long as I have you [Verse 5] I'll get by as long as I have you Though there be rain and darkness too I'll not complain, I'll laugh it through Poverty may come to me, that's true But what care I? I'll get by As long as I have you
