Lyrics

BILLIE

She’s an April shower
This princess of the night
And as day breaks
From 52nd Street she lullabys
The New York town

Chorus:
And where is the love in your heart
It’s amazing what a little moonlight can do
And the white folk come to Harlem
As Billie sings the blues

Now the years have gone
Still I bled my papa for nickel and song
And every man that I meet
Takes me for the fool
Fool that I am

Chorus

Oh I’m tired and I’m lonely
Still I wrestle this junkie
For a little more - more that sweet life
And they lock me away
Still I sing for Louis, Lester
No child - no no no child to raise

Chorus
