(Michael McDonald & Randy Goodrum)
|
Look back loneliness, you won't see me behind you
|
Hey now emptiness, no more leading the way
|
Go on desperateness, I don't need you beside me no more
|
|
Come on happiness, I can feel you gaining ground
|
Hey now foolishness, I might keep you around
|
Go on emptiness, I won't look behind me no more
|
|
I don't rule you out, I know you're there
|
But I'm on to you now
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
That's why, I won't be down very long
|
That's why, I'll be all right from now on
|
That's why, I get stronger everytime
|
That's why, I know this heart will survive
|
After you're gone
|
|
You know I believe all we really have is time
|
No use worrying, no use wondering why
|
'cause through it all, we're only here to laugh and cry
|
It's meant to be that failure only brings another way
|
Every heartache always has another day
|
Come on loneliness, I don't need to hide you no more
|
|
I don't rule you out, I know you're there
|
But I'm on to you now
|
|
[Chorus]
|

That's Why
