oh why

Françoise Hardy

As the nights go by
I sit alone and wonder why
My arms won't free you
My heart won't try
And I ask myself "why?"

You are gone, but where
I call your name
In every prayer
I walk alone
Where we walked together
And I ask myself "why?"
Just "why?"

I will try again
And your lips could lie again
Stars will never shine
Until the day you're mine

It would be divine
To find your lips
So close to mine
I loved you only
But I'm so lonely
And I ask myself "why?"
Just "why?"
