Why Was I Born? Ella Fitzgerald

[Preamble]
Spending these lonesome evenings with nothing to do
But to live in dreams that I make up all by myself
Dreaming that you're beside me, I picture the prettiest stories
Only to wake up all by myself
What is the good of me by myself?

[Chorus]
Why was I born? Why am I living?
What do I get? What am I giving?
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I do I cry? You never hear me
I'm a poor fool but what can I do?
Why was I born? To love you

[Instrumental Break]

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