late in the evening
as we glide far
you saw the stars
oh so bright
yet, i saw no stars
but just gray clouds in the sky
covering a luniform light
when the stars did shine
my mind will always wonder
why? oh, why?
“why do birds
never sing at night?”
but you say
you can hear them now
yet, all i hear is just a baby’s brazen cry
and a mother’s lullaby
when the birds did sing
my mind will always wonder
why? oh, why?
i try to fill
our empty years
for you it seems,
today’s an end
but you know i’ll cry
after hearing your goodbye
so why should i let you go?
if your love passed by
my mind will always wonder
why? oh, why?
oh, why?
why?
