Something to Live For lyrics
by Duke Ellington
[Verse 1]
I want something to live for
Someone to make my life
An adventurous dream
Oh, what wouldn't I give for
Someone who'd take my life
And make it seem
Gay as they say it ought to be
[Verse 2]
Oh, why can't I have love like that
Brought to me?
My eye is watching the noon crowds
Searching the promenades seeking a clue
To the one who will someday
Be my something to live for
Why can't I have something to live for?
