Frank Sinatra Portrait Of Sinatra-columbia C Why Was I Born?
Why was i born, why am i livin'?
What do i get, what am i givin'?
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?
Why was i born to love you?
<instrumental-first two lines of second verse>
I'm a poor fool, but what can i do?
Why was i born to love you?
Some other versions may include an intro:
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?
