Something to Live For (Chris Connor) - Chris Connor

I have almost everything 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 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
