Picture love pure as summer Like winter in the spring God gave them everything To love and hold each other Like shelter from the rain All through the night into the day
He never said he'd go away But he did And as she cried I saw him Just like you did that morning No reason and no warning Must this dream have an end for me?
Oh, tell me why Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely) Tell me why Someone to hold on to through the night Please just tell me why
She tried her best to please him In every special way Promised he'd do the same Cherish the kiss that started And the feelings that they shared Like the wind beneath a dying sail
Endlessly loving without fail And he said Death do us part to this I, swear to be there beside you Can't live my life without you Why can't this be the same for me?
Oh, tell me why Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely) Tell me why Someone to hold on to through the night Please just tell me why
For every minute of my life I've been blind, baby I just can't get you off my mind No matter how I try Baby, won't you tell me, tell me why
Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely) Tell me why Someone to hold on to through the night Please just tell me why
Oh, tell me why Why can't you be here by my side? Tell me why Someone to hold on to through the night Please just tell me why
