I don't know why
I don't know why
when a hectic summer passes
like a bright light across the dark sky
I let it go by
though I may have been the fastest
though I may have seized it in one try
I could drink a glass of water
yet still feel the thirst
I could beat the world's best
yet still be the worst
I could sleep for a year
without a dream passing by
I could do it all for you
but I wouldn't know why
I don't know why
when I look at the moon
its beauty seems all too plain
The stars in the sky
when they sing a sweet tune
I always listen in vain
I can see no beauty
though I know it's there
I can hear no music
yet it fills the air
I can feel no pain
though the blood runs dry
unless it's for you
and I don't know why
I don't know why
when I smell fresh flower
its scent escapes my grasp
when high in the sky
the risen sun does tower
it seems to set so fast
The time stands still
yet passes in a hurry
thought troubles travel near
I have once yet to worry
I can listen to a liar
yet not hear a lie
unless it's for you
and I don't know why
I could touch a quiet flame
and not feel the burn
Endure a thousand lessons
and not ever learn
I could walk across water
without falling through
unless you wished it different
because I love you
