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 was I born?
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?
Why was I born
To love you?
I'm a poor fool
But what can I do?
Why was I born
To love you?
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 was I born? 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? Why was I born To love you? I'm a poor fool But what can I do? Why was I born To love you? Explain Request ×
