Don't Know Why

Smokey Robinson · Now & Then [2010]

I waited 'til I saw the sun

Don't know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun

Don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come



When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling in the sand

Catching teardrops in my hand



My heart is drenched in wine

You'll be on my mind forever



I would cross the angry sea

Die in ecstasy

But I'll be a bag of bones

Driving down the road along



My heart is drenched in wine

You'll be on my mind forever



Something has to make you run

Don't know why I didn't come

I feel as empty as a drum

Don't know why I didn't come



Don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come
