Why Was I Born

Jerome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein II, 1929

Triplicate sessions, Capitol Recording Studio B, Los Angeles CA - February 2016  

Why was I born, why I am living
What do I give, what am I'm giving
What do I want a thing and there is not hope for
What can I hope for, I wish I knew.

Why do I try to draw 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?

I'm a poor fool but what can I do
Why was I born to love you?
