Tell me why you had to go away.
Tell me why you felt you couldn’t stay.
Tell me why you left me sad and blue,
And I’ll tell you why I still love you.
You see, you’re beautiful to me.
You’ve got a charming personality.
You’re lovely in every sense of the word.
You’re like a lovely song that I once heard.
Tell me why you said you had to leave.
Tell me why you left me with my grief.
Tell me why you could not remain true,
And I’ll tell you why I still love you.
