I Don't Know Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time passes by
Goes so fast then you die
It's enough just to be with you
You set your sights high
No regrets no goodbye
Just a face in your mind for the ones
Cross my heart
Cross my fingers
Cross my mind
Cross my path
Cross my heart
Hold my breath
Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine
The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry
I close my eyes
And I see your sweet smile
Been a while since you came and talked
Places I've been
And people I've seen
Simply pale into view when compared
Cross my heart
Cross my fingers
Hold my breath
Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine
The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry
Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine
The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry
Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine
The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry
