I don't know why
|
Why you had to leave me
|
And I don't know why
|
You said goodbye
|
Only if I try
|
Can I feel the earth beneath me
|
And as days go by
|
I come alive
|
|
The fall of your hair
|
The feel of your skin
|
And the smile on your face
|
As you took me in
|
|
Now I lie
|
And stare at the sky
|
Still I wonder why
|
I don't know why
|
|
You said that you'd release me
|
No matter how I try
|
I still feel you
|
|
I watched a falling leaf
|
Drifting down towards me
|
|
Carried by the wind
|
It disappeared
|
|
I sat in disbelief
|
At what had become of me
|
And as the day grew dark
|
I rose to go
|
|
And as I walked along
|
I thought I heard you call me
|
Alas I was alone
|
So I went home
|
|
The fall of your hair
|
The feel of your skin
|
And the smile on your face
|
As you took me in
|
|
Now I lie
|
No longer cry
|
But still I wonder why
|
I don't know why
|
You were taken from me
|
I cannot forget
|
Or say goodbye
|
