Gloomy Sunday Tab

by Billie Holiday


                           
Sunday is gloomy my hours are slumberless.

                          
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless.

           +7                
Little white flowers will never awaken you,

                              
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you.

                       
Angels have no thought of ever returning you --

                                       
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?

                  
Gloomy Sunday.


                     
Gloomy Sunday, with shadows I spend it all;

                     
My heart and I have decided to end it all.

               +7                         
Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad, I know;

                                
Let them not weep, let them know that I'm glad to go.


                                    
Death is no dream, for in death I'm caressing you;

                                             
With the last breath of my soul, I'll be blessing you.

                  
Gloomy Sunday.


                                
Dreaming   -  I was only dreaming.

                                             
I wake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heart, dear.


                                 
Darling, I hope that my dream never haunted you;

                                      
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you.

                    
Gloomy Sunday.
