Lyrics
Why was I born?
Why am I living?
What do I get?
Look what l'm giving
Why do I want far things
I dare not hope for?
What can I hope for?
I wish I knew
Why do I try
To keep 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?
Why do I try
To keep you near me?
Why do I cry? No
You never hear me
I'm a poor fool
But what can I do?
Why was I born
To love you?
