Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I want something to live for
Someone to make mine
An adventurous dream
[Verse 2]
Oh
What wouldn't I give for
Someone who'll protect my life?
And make it seem
Gay as they say it ought to be
[Verse 3]
Oh, why can't I have love like that
Brought to me?
[Verse 4]
My eye is watching the noon crowd
Searching the promenades
Seeking a clue
To the one who will someday be my
Something to live for
[Verse 5]
Why can't I
Have something to live for?
Written by: Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington
