lyrics

I want something to live for
I want someone to make my life an adventurous dream
Oh, what wouldn't I give for
Someone to take my life and make it seem
Gay as they say it ought to be

My eye is watching the noon crowd
Is searching the promenade seeking a clue
To the one who will someday be my
Something to live for.
