Lyrics
Verse 1
You lit up the night and made the stars shine bright
The sun rose and set on you
With you the world was always right and I knew
No one else would ever do
Lift
But you left and turned my whole world upside down
So tell me how the earth still goes round and round
Chorus
Please won?t you please tell me why
Tell me why you let something so good slip by
I just gotta know why you let me go
Please tell me why life goes on when I am without you
Tell me why the sky is blue
Verse 2
There?s still a full moon every now and then
Rivers flow just like before
Waves still wash in from the sea to meet the shore
Seems to rain a little more
Lift
But you left and turned my whole world upside down
So tell me how the earth still goes round and round
Chorus
Please won?t you please tell me why
Tell me why you let something so good slip by
I just gotta know why you let me go
Please tell me why life goes on when I?m without you
Chorus
Please won?t you please tell me why
Tell me why you let something so good slip by
I just gotta know why you let me go
Please tell me why life goes on when I?m without you
