Lyrics
Why Can't I Believe In You
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.
They say I'm a fool to believe in such things as life hereafter and such
That horseshoes and four-leaf clovers couldn't possibly bring me good luck
They laugh when I throw salt over my shoulder and walk around a black cat
And whoever heard my Lord it's absurd to believe in three on a match
Superstition that's true but I also believe in you
Why if I believe in these things can't I believe in you
[ harmonica ] Halloween's such a delight with witches and goblins and spooks
People say John you're too old to be acting like some kind of kook
Walking around ladders with rabbitts feet
Dangling and saying God bless when you sneeze
They tell me I'm superstitious and I guess I'll have to agree
Superstition that's true...
[ harmonica ] My dad taught me how to read fortunes in coffee cup grounds people leave
And ever since I was a youngun that's been a thing I believed
I believe in things like magic and dreams and I thank my lucky stars
I believe in the basic goodness of man and just how good we all are
If I believe dreams come true why can't I believe in you
Why can't I believe in you
If my friend this is true why can't I believe in you
Why if I believe in these things can't I believe in you
