song of the moment...

Why was I born?
Ella Fitzgerald


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 story
only to wake up all by myself
What is the good of me by myself?

Why was I born?
Why am I living?
What do I get?
What am I giving?
Why do I want a thing I darn't hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew.

Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I cry? You never hear me?
I'm a poor fool but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?

I'm a poor fool but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?

(For clarification, NO I am not in love with anyone so this song is not about anyone & that in itself is sadder than this pining thing Ella has going on. I identify with the lyrics cause just 5 seconds ago I was asking myself why was I born.)
