I hear music and there's no one there
Smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All night long I'm walkin' on air
I wonder why, I wonder why?

I keep tossin' in my sleep at night
And I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the sky
Now twinkle in my eye, I wonder why?
I wonder why, I wonder why, why, oh why
[Scat]

(You don't need analysing)
(It's not so surprising)
(That you feel very strange but nice)
(Your heart goes pitter-patter)
(I know just what's the matter)
(Because I've been there once or twice)

(Put your head on my shoulder)
(You need someone that's older)
(A rubdown with a velvet glove)
(There is nothing you can take)
(To relieve that pleasant ache)
(You're not sick, you're just in love)
[Instrumental]

I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the sky
Now twinkle in my eye, that twinkle in the sky
That twinkle in the eye, that twinkle in the sky
That twinkle in the eye, that twinkle in the sky
I wonder why, why?
Oh, why?
