Lyrics
Tell You Why
Last night you spoke to me and
You made me smile
You'd sleep on the bank of a river
And so would I
We feel like leaves tumbling together
Across the clear sky
So dear were the dreams we made forever that
They would not die
But those leaves are blowing
Right into my face
And I can see you are going someplace
Without me
And I will cry while I'm still smiling and
Waving goodbye
And I will die from my trying to
Tell you why
The day drifts by like a dreamer
And fills the sky
I dream of the day when you'll be coming
Back into mine
Clouds form up above and patterns linger
Across the dark sky
So here with the dreams we made together
I'll stay 'til I die
And those leaves are blowing
Right into my face
And I can see you are going someplace
Without me
And I will cry while I'm still smiling and
Waving goodbye
And I will die from my trying to
Tell you why
And I will cry while I'm still smiling and
Waving goodbye
And I will die from my trying to
Tell, tell you why
Tell you why
Tell you why
Tell you why
Tell you why
