Subject: Lyr Add: TELL ME WHY
Copied from http://www.digitaltimes.com/karaoke/singers/tellmewhy.html:
TELL ME WHY
(Mitchell Parish, Michael Edwards and Sigmund Spaeth)
VERSE: All through the night, all through the day,
I keep on wondering so.
Sweetheart, will you answer me true?
There's something I want to know:
CHORUS: Tell me why the stars do shine;
Tell me why the ivy twines;
Tell me why the skies are blue;
And I will tell you why I love you.
Because God made the stars to shine;
Because God made the ivy twine;
Because God made the skies so blue;
That is the reason why I love you.
Circa 1945
