That's Life I Guess - Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra

Sometimes I wonder what’s in store for me

Your love could open heaven’s door to me

But you don’t care a straw for me

That’s life, I guess

My days and nights are stark and hard with you

My sugar kisses taste like salt to you

But why should I find fault with you?

That’s life, I guess

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
