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 crowd,
Searching the promenade, seeking a clue
To the one who will someday be mine,
Something to live for.
My eye is watching the noon crowd,
Searching the promenade, seeking a clue
To the one who will someday
Be my something to live for.
