George Gershwin (m) Ira Gershwin (l)  1931

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Nelson Riddle & his Orch  
July 17th 1959 Hollywood


When a body knows nobody,
What's a body to do?
Shall she weep and sigh?
No no, and I'll tell you why!

Someday there must come somebody,
Bringing heaven in view,
And so her courage she must keep
As she sings herself to sleep.

Somebody from somewhere
Will appear someday.
I don't know just from where,
But he's on his way!

I'll just keep on waiting,
Waiting till I see
Somebody from somewhere
For nobody but me!

I'll just keep on waiting,
Waiting till I see
Somebody from somewhere
For nobody but me!
