Why Why Why

Skeeter Davis · Cloudy With Occasional Tears (RCA Victor) [1963]

(Sandra Rhodes)



The pillow where you lay your head is there

Lonely memories have taken your place there

And every night you can hear me cry

And I ask why, why, why?



The smile that set my heart aglow

Now smiles at someone else someone else I know

The lips that said I love you now tell me goodbye

And I ask why, why, why?



Why did she steal your love from me

When she knew I needed you so desperately

The boy that touched my heart too low

Is holding someone else that he's meant to love

And I sit alone with the tears in my eyes

Why, why, why?



--- Instrumental ---



Why, why, why, yes I sit alone with the tears in my eyes

Why, why, why?...
