Something To Live For

(1939) duke ellington, billy strayhorn



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



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

Something to live for

Something to live for
