Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be) (1942)
(wm) Jimmy Davis, Roger Ramirez, and Jimmy Sherman. (P) Billie Holiday.
I don’t know why, but I’m feeling so sad
I long to try something I’ve never had
Never had no kissin’, oh, what I’ve been missin’
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

The night is cold and I’m so all alone
I’d give my soul just to call you now
Got a moon above me, but no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

Bridge: I’ve heard it said that the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you’ll make love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we’ll meet and you’ll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Hugging and a-kissing, oh, what we’ve been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
