Why Was I Born? Lyrics

Spending these lonesome evenings
With nothing to do
But to live in dreams that I make up
All by myselfDreaming that you're beside me
I picture the prettiest stories
Only to wake up
All by myselfWhat is the good of me by myself?Why was I born
Why am I living
What do I get
What am I givingWhy do I want a thing
I daren't hope for
What can I hope for
I wish I knewWhy do I try
To draw you near me
Why do I do I cry
You never hear meI'm a poor fool
But what can I do
Why was I born

To love youI'm a poor fool
But what can I do
Why was I born
To love you
