Don't Ask Why

Ron Sexsmith · Blue Boy [2001]

Don't feel the need to get to the bottom of

The love light in your eyes

As the leaves fall prey to autumn

I don't ask why



Don't give my feelings the third degree

No need to think twice

As long as I've got you for me

I don't ask why

I don't ask why



What good would it do me knowing

How it all works anyway?

My soul's got its own game going

I'm just happy to play



It's said in wisdom there's so much grief

Why try?

If the answer brings no relief

It's better to laugh or cry



Since worrying don't change a thing

I don't ask why



What good would it do me knowing

How it all works from behind

My soul's got its own dream going

I'm just following blind



It's said in wisdom there's so much grief

Like a child?

If the answer brings no relief

It's better to laugh or cry



So if we chased the stars and caught 'em

Now would they still shine?

Don't feel the need to get to the bottom of

The lovelight in your eyes

I don't ask why

No I don't ask why
