What Am I Here For? Lyrics

What Am I Here For? - Ella Fitzgerald

Written by:Frankie Laine/Duke Ellington

What am I here for living in misery

Now that you've gone from my heart

That was my fear for you were my future

There was no reason to part

Still I hope you'll change your mind

And that somehow you will find

You were meant to be my own

I'll be lost if I'm alone

I know you remember all that you told me

Times when you'd hold me so tight

How could you grieve me how could you leave me

Knowing your love is my light

In your heart there should be thoughts

Of your return to me

I will be happy patiently waiting

Knowing then just why I am here

I know you remember all that you told me

Times when you'd hold me so tight

How could you grieve me how could you leave me

Knowing your love is my light

In your heart there should be thoughts

Of your return to me

I will be happy patiently waiting

 

Knowing then just why I am here
