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, nota come Billie Holiday (1915-1959), è stata una cantante statunitense considerata una delle più grandi interpreti di jazz e blues di tutti i tempi. Cresciuta a Filadelfia in un ambiente difficile, iniziò la sua carriera musicale nei locali notturni di Harlem. Il suo stile vocale unico, caratterizzato da una voce profonda e sensuale con un'ampia gamma espressiva, le valse il soprannome di "Lady Day". Holiday era nota per le sue interpretazioni emozionanti e malinconiche, spesso accompagnate da arrangiamenti jazz raffinati. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Strange Fruit", una canzone contro la violenza razziale che divenne un inno contro il linciaggio negli Stati Uniti, e "God Bless the Child". Holiday ha collaborato con alcuni dei musicisti più importanti del suo tempo, tra cui Lester Young, Teddy Wilson e Count Basie. La sua carriera fu segnata da problemi personali e di dipendenza, ma la sua influenza sulla musica jazz rimane immensa.
