Lyrics
I 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.
They say love keeps on growin
It's the one thing that I've felt I've always known
Cause it wouldn't matter where you're going
Cause where you are is where I want to go
I know why the heart gets lonely
Everytime you give your love away
But if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
Blowin´ 'round but when
You let somebody in
They might fade away
Tell me why the road keeps turning
When everything you want is straight ahead
And everything I thought worth learning
Is forgotten when I see your face instead
I know why the heart gets lonely
Everytime you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A Shadow in the wind
Blowin´ 'round but when
You let somebody in
They might fade away
Ah you say it's so overrated
Holding onto yesterday
Along the way it can get
Too complicated to stay
I know why the heart gets lonely
Everytime you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
You better think again
I kow why the heart gets lonely
Everytime you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
Feathers in wind blowin´ 'round but when
You let somebody in
They might fade away
Fade away
