Something to Live For - Jane Monheit

I have almost everything a human could desire

Cars and houses, bearskin rugs to lie before my fire

But there’s something missing, something isn’t there

It seems I’m never kissing the one that I could care for

I want something to live for

Something to make my life

An adventurous dream

Oh, what wouldn’t I give for

Someone who’ll 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

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
