Who Knows Why

I remember how you looked

The night you looked at me and said to me

You had to leave and had to let me go

The way your hands were shaking

I could tell your heart was breaking

You said hold me one more time before I go

And I felt a million memories

And used to be's come rushing back

Like an old familiar song you can't forget

But who knows why things happen when they happen

I won't cry I'll just watch you walk away

And I'll remember every minute we were in it

Guess the river's gotta run and birds are gonna fly

But who knows why

Who knows why

I've been looking at the world these days

Trying not to lose my faith

But without you near it's getting hard to do

And I'm not sure how it goes from here

I just know that it goes from here

And tonight I'm out here staring at the moon

Oh and it doesn't matter where you are

Near or far you're in my heart

Though you're gone that's where you'll always stay

But who knows why things happen when they happen

I won't cry I'll just watch you walk away

And I'll remember every minute we were in it

I guess the river's gonna run and birds are gonna fly

But who knows why

Yeah, who knows why

And who knows why things happen when they happen

I won't cry I'll just let you walk away

And I'll remember every minute we were in it

Yeah, we were in it

But that river's gonna run and birds are gonna fly

But who knows why

Who knows

Who knows why
