I've an awfully feelling
That this thought that's been a stealin thru my brain
Is not to be ignored
But to really tell the truth
Though I'm not a well known sleuth
I honestly believe that you are bored
You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed
You've changed
Your kisses now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed
You've forgotten the words, "I love you"
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you've ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me what we're through
It's all over now
You've changed
Does anyone know the story behind this song? Was Billie actually in a relationship like this or not?

If you think that's something, listen to the original. It made me cry.

I checked some of the "divas" renditons of this song (Streisand, Diana Ross ..) and that was simply abominable compared to Billie.

Yes, Billy Holiday always went for the bad guy in the crowd...and yes she could cuss and fight just as good as a man. So in a way she could hold her own in any crowd of people. She once faught a man who made negative remarks about her race and spit on her fur coat. Ms. Holiday was one hell'ave woman if you ask me. She had to be, she lived during the time of Jim Crow.

I grew up listening to the only and only Billie Holiday, her voice is timeless, it moves me just like it did when i first heard her, many moons ago in good old east London. I adore her
