I saw a moonlit scene I never will forget

I stole a kiss at daybreak

I never did regret it

Sometimes I wonder why I even try

So why should I feel blue?

I heard the sound of footsteps swaying in the dark

I poked my head out silent that's how it started

What to my eyes appeared as dust became a vision I don't know

What had finally found me with my back against the wall

Was destiny intruding all around me

And as the day wore on I knew

Another lonely night could never be

If there's is a reason you might try and forget

I'd like to find it cause I like to relive it

Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry

So why should I feel blue?

I was caught drifting disappearing from the land

Whitecaps in profusion all around me

But somehow in our eyes I found the strength to sail upon the raging sea

If there's a reason for the way that life is

I'd like to find it after all who's life is it

Sometimes I wonder why I even try

So why should I feel blue?

What had finally found me with my back against the wall

Was destiny intruding all around me

And as the days wore on I Knew

Another lonely night with you could never be

I saw a moonlit scene I know it was real

All that you can ever do when love is reveal

Sometimes I every try why I even try

So why should I feel blue?

Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry

So why should I feel blue?
