Something to Live For (remastered) Songtext
von Nina Simone

(1939) Duke Ellington, Billy 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


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
Something to live for
Something to live for
