WHY?  

Why, oh why, oh why

Don’t you believe the things I say are true

You know I loved you from the tart

I made a vow our love would remain forever, eternally

 

Why, oh why, oh why

Do I see a tear running down your face, my love?

What else can I do, my dear

To prove to you my love is for real, so true

 

I will give you my world

I’ll make a charm with the sun

Then I’d string it on a necklace made with stars

I’ll even cry for you a river of tears

 

I’ll make love to you on the softest clouds

Under a blue moon that wears a smile

Surrounded by stars made of diamonds

So tell me why, please tell me why, tell me why

 

I will give you the Milky Way

Build a home for you on Venus or Mars

I’ll take you to heaven for our honeymoon

I’ll even lay my life down for you

Tell me why

Tell me why
