The Reason Why
Lyrics and Music written by Eliot Popkin
Letters in a pile
Same return address
Seventeen separate declarations of love
That I hold to my chest
I am not a cynic
I don?t need to blame
I will always try to see the reason why
Why you went away
Why you went away
Swingset on a playground
Where we used to play
Pushed you until you reached the horizon
Or ?til the end of day
I am not an astronaut
Soaring far away
I will always try to see the reason why
Why you went away
Oh how time moves from days and weeks into years
Yet my heart stands still through birthdays and snowfalls
And all that appears
Seashore in the summer
Where you held my hand
Promised eternity to each other
Barefoot in the sand
I am not the cupid
I am not a saint
I will always try to see the reason why
Why you went away
I will always try to see the reason why
Why you went away
