Best of Helen Reddy lyrics

Why Was I Born
Helen Morgan

Why was I born? Why am I living?
What do I get? What am I giving?
Why do I want a thingI 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 cry? You never hear me.
I’m a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?

CHORUS
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
