[Verse 1]
What makes a tree grow tall?
Why does a leaf turn to gold?
What makes the morning dew?
I wish (I wish I knew) I knew (I wish I knew)

[Verse 2]
What makes a raindrop fall?
Why does the nighttime grow cold?
What makes the sky so blue?
I wish I knew

[Bridge]
Why are the stars so tiny?
Why is the sun so bright?
Why is the moon so shiny
When it only comes out at night?

[Verse 3]
What makes a robin call? (What make a robin call?)
Why is a grandmother old? (Why is a grandmother old?)
What makes a kitten mew?
I wish (I wish I knew) I knew

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Why are the stars so tiny?
Why is the sun so bright?
Why is the moon so shiny
When it only comes out at night?

[Verse 3]
What makes a robin call? (What make a robin call?)
Why is a grandmother old? (Why is a grandmother old?)
What makes a kitten mew?
I wish (I wish I knew) I knew
