| (1939) duke ellington, billy strayhorn | |
| 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 | |
| Something to live for | |
