Why Darling Why by Fred Eaglesmith
Well I saw you last night
Couldn't believe it was true
For over there on your side
You had someone new
Almost called out your name
But I stopped just in time
And over and over
Again and again
I ask why darling, why?
And my friends saw you, too
But they just looked away
And they pretended not to
For what could they say
And my face must have changed
And I covered my eyes
And over and over
Again and again
I ask why darling, why?
Why darling, why?
Look what you've done
Why darling, why?
Now that you've gone
My hearts filled with pain
And I cry like a child
And over and over
Again and again
I ask why darling, why?
And the lights of the city
They lost their shine
Won't you have a little pity
On this poor heart of mine
For I can't understand
Though I've tried and I've tried
And over and over
Again and again
I ask why darling, why?
Yes, Over and over
Again and again
I ask why darling, why?
