As the nights go by,
I sit alone and wonder why,
My arms won't free you,
My heart won't try
And I ask myself why oh why?

You are gone but where?
I call your name in ev'ry prayer,
I walk alone where we walked together
And I ask myself why, why, oh why?

I will cry again,
Your lips will lie again,
Stars will never shine
Until the day you're mine;

It would be divine
To find your lips so close to mine,
I loved you only,
Now I'm so lonely,
And I ask myself why why oh why?
