I Don't Know Why

I don't know why

Why you had to leave me

And I don't know why

You said goodbye

Only if I try

Can I feel the earth beneath me

And as days go by

I come alive

The fall of your hair

The feel of your skin

And the smile on your face

As you took me in

Now I lie

And stare at the sky

Still I wonder why

I don't know why

You said that you'd release me

No matter how I try

I still feel you

I watched a falling leaf

Drifting down towards me

Carried by the wind

It disappeared

I sat in disbelief

At what had become of me

And as the day grew dark

I rose to go

And as I walked along

I thought I heard you call me

Alas I was alone

So I went home

The fall of your hair

The feel of your skin

And the smile on your face

As you took me in

Now I lie

No longer cry

But still I wonder why

I don't know why

You were taken from me

I cannot forget

Or say goodbye
