Something to Live For Songtext
von Lena Horne

I have almost everything a human could desire
Cars and houses, bear-skin rugs to lie before my fire
But there′s something missing
Something isn't there
It seems I′m never kissing the one whom I care for

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

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
