Why Was I Born? Songtext
von Johnny Hartman

Why was I born?
Why am I living?
What do I get?
Look what l′m giving

Why do I want far things
I dare not hope for?
What can I hope for?
I wish I knew


Why do I try
To keep you near me?
Why do I cry?
You never hear me

I'm a poor fool
But what can I do?
Why was I born
To love you?

Why do I try
To keep you near me?
Why do I cry? No
You never hear me


I′m a poor fool
But what can I do?
Why was I born
To love you?
