Picture love pure as summer

Like winter in the spring

God gave them everything

To love and hold each other

Like shelter from the rain

All through the night into the day

He never said he'd go away

But he did

And as she cried I saw him

Just like you did that morning

No reason and no warning

Must this dream have an end for me?

Oh, tell me why

Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely)

Tell me why

Someone to hold on to through the night

Please just tell me why

She tried her best to please him

In every special way

Promised he'd do the same

Cherish the kiss that started

And the feelings that they shared

Like the wind beneath a dying sail

Endlessly loving without fail

And he said

Death do us part to this I,

swear to be there beside you

Can't live my life without you

Why can't this be the same for me?

Oh, tell me why

Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely)

Tell me why

Someone to hold on to through the night

Please just tell me why

For every minute of my life

I've been blind, baby

I just can't get you off my mind

No matter how I try

Baby, won't you tell me, tell me why

Why can't you be here by my side? (I feel so lonely)

Tell me why

Someone to hold on to through the night

Please just tell me why

Oh, tell me why

Why can't you be here by my side? 

Tell me why

Someone to hold on to through the nïght

Please just tell me why
