Pretty Girl Why

Like the ghost of someone dear

She comes to haunt me in my sleep

Still unable to sincerely

Give her heart away for keeps



Pretty Girl why?

Pretty girl why not love me?

Pretty girl why?

Pretty girl why?



There she leaves me twice as lonely

As I was but yesterday

Keeping such a hold upon my thoughts

So near yet far away



Pretty Girl why?

Pretty girl why not love me?

Pretty girl why?

Pretty girl why?



The minstrel boy has gone to war

Now burdened with his father's sword

Still she doesn't see how she can give him

Peace amidst the horror



Pretty Girl why?

Pretty girl why not love me?

Pretty girl why?

Pretty girl why?
