Tell me why, though I try to forget
Tell me why, why I think of you yet
I know I'll never be free
What has happened to me
Tell me why, when we danced until three
Tell me why, why my heart couldn't see
I never dreamed of romance
Never gave it a chance
When I think of how you looked that day
In your gown of silk and lace
Should've known the day you came my way
That this was the time and the place
Tell me why I keep foolin' my heart
When I know it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
When I think of how you looked that day
In your gown of silk and lace
Should've known the day you came my way
That this was the time and the place
Tell me why I keep foolin' my heart
When I know it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
Tell me, tell me, why
