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.

I don't know why

The sky is so blue

And I don't know why

I'm so in love with you

But if there were no music

Then I would not get through

I don't know why

I know these things, but I do

I don't know why

But somewhere dreams come true

And I don't know where

But there will be a place for you

And every time you look that way

I would lay down my life for you

I don't know why

I know these things, but I do

I don't know why

But some are going to make you cry

And I don't know how

But I will get you by, I will try

They're not trying to cause you pain

They're just afraid of loving you

I don't know why

I know these things, but I do

I don't know why

The trees grow so tall

And I don't know why

I don't know anything at all

But if there were no music

Then I would not get through

I don't know why

I know these things, but I do

I don't know why

I know these things, but I do
