Lyrics Something to Live for (1939) - Duke Ellington
I
have
almost
ev'ry
thing
a
human
could
desire,
Cars
and
houses,
bear-skin
rugs
to
lie
before
my
fire
But
there's
something
missing,
Something
isn't
there,
It
seems
I'm
never
kissing
the
one
whom
I
care
for.
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.
I
want
Something
To
Live
For
Someone
to
make
my
life
an
adventurous
dream
Oh,
what
wouln'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

My

crowds
Searching
the
promenades
seeking

clue
To
the
one
who
will
someday
be
my
Something
To
Live
For.
