Why

Eddy Arnold · Last Word In Lonesome [RCA Victor] [1966]

(Cindy Walker)



Why did you tell me that you love me

when you really didn't love me, oh darling why?

And why did you let me dream on

Now the pretty dream's gone, all I can do is cry.



And I will never understand

It was that the way you planned it, was it all just a lie?

Goodbye, you broke the heart I gave you

But someday your heart will break too, and you'll wonder why.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh darling why, goodbye

You broke the heart I gave you

But someday your heart will break too

And you'll wonder why...
