Oh every time it rains
It rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune
Fallin' all over town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
It you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
For you and me
The world was bright when you loved me
Sweet was the touch of your lips
The world went dark when you left me
And then there came a total eclipse
Nobody knows how cruel fate can be
How close together love and hate can be
Goodbye, just clean the slate for me
That's life I guess
Eleanora Fagan, known as Billie Holiday (1915-1959), was an American singer widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz and blues vocalists of all time. Raised in Philadelphia's challenging environment, she began her musical career in Harlem's nightclubs. Her unique vocal style, characterized by a deep, sensual voice with a wide expressive range, earned her the nickname "Lady Day". Holiday was known for her emotionally charged and melancholic performances, often accompanied by sophisticated jazz arrangements. Among her most famous songs are "Strange Fruit", an anti-lynching anthem that became a powerful protest song against racial violence in the United States, and "God Bless the Child". Holiday collaborated with some of the most prominent musicians of her era, including Lester Young, Teddy Wilson, and Count Basie.
