It's weird sometimes, when we all seem to know what went on and how things turned out the way they did, we all understood and perhaps later came to accept the reasons for what went wrong. But just after the bombs drop most of us step out of the darkness and dust, and never fail to ask,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why"

I can still remember fondly
Those eyes that looked right through me all the time
And deep inside I knew you're mine

I can still recall the feeling
Our hands under the moonlight, intertwined
I'd nibble gently at your ear and say

You're the only one for me, dear
You're so beautiful, and babe you're sweet, yeah
And now that it's all over
I can't stop myself from wondering

[Chorus]
Why
Under these stars tonight
Where everything feels alright
And my pain just dies away, because
I had you in my arms, oh baby
Why
Did it have to be this way
And no matter what I say
I know you'll never change your mind, oh
Baby, why?

I waited quietly with bated breath
With everyday a cruel test
Before I could be with you all alone

And everytime when that day came
I felt alive all over again
It was worth the wait to have you in my arms, yeah

Why
Under these stars tonight
Where everything feels alright
And my pain just dies away, because
I had you in my arms, oh baby
Why
Did it have to be this way
And no matter what I say
I know you'll never change your mind, oh
Baby, why?

Why am I so torn inside
Why do I cry every night
Why can't I just move along? Oh baby,
Why do I need you so much
So desperate for your loving touch
Why can't I just let go...

Why
Under these stars tonight
Where everything feels alright
And my pain just dies away, because
I had you in my arms, oh baby
Why
Did it have to be this way
And no matter what I say
I know you'll never change your mind, oh
Baby, why?
