Lyrics Why Was I Born? - Jimmy Smith
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?
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
To
love
you
I'm
a
poor
fool
But
what
can
I
do
To
love
you
