Something To Live For

Something To Live For - Ellington/Strayhorn/Chris Connor

Written by：Ellington/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

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 mine

Something to live for

Why can't I have something to live for
