Tell me why, though I try to forget

Tell me why, why I think of you yet

I know I'll never be free

What has happened to me?



Tell me why, when we danced until three

Tell me why, why my heart couldn't see

I never dreamed of romance

Never gave it a chance



When I think of how you looked that day

In your gown of silk and lace

Should have known the day you came my way

That this was the time and the place



Tell me why I keep fooling my heart

When I know it was love from the start

Why don't we give it a try?

If you know, tell me why



Tell me why I keep fooling my heart

When I know it was love from the start

Why don't we give it a try?

If you know, tell me why



Tell me.

Tell me why
