Tell Me Why Lyrics

Picture love, pure as summer
Like winter in the spring
God gave them everything
To love and hold each other
Like shelter from the rain
All through the night into the day

He never said he'd go away
But he did
And as she cried I saw him
Just like you did that mornin'
No reason and no warnin'
Must this dream have an end for me?

Oh, tell me why
Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely)
Tell me why
Someone to hold all through the night (why)
Please just tell me why

She tried her best to please him
In every special way
Promised he'd do the same
Cherish the kiss that started
And the feelings that they shared
Like the wind beneath a dying sail

Endlessly lovin' without fail
And he said
Death do us part to this
I swear to be there beside you
Can't live my life without you
Why can't this be the same for me?

Oh, tell me why
Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely)
Tell me why
Someone to hold all through the night (why)
Please just tell me why

For every minute of my life
I've been blind, baby (I've been blind)
I just can't get you off my mind, no matter how I'll try
Baby, won't you tell me, tell me why?

(Tell me why, why can't you be here by my side?)
I want you here, oh no
Baby, baby please just tell me why
(Someone to hold all through the night)
I feel so lonely
Please just baby, tell me why
Why can't you be here by my side?
Someone to hold onto
Tell me why
Why can't we be together
You're all I believe in
Please just tell me why
