Lyrics: Shawn Colvin. I Don't Know Why.

I don't know why, the sky is so blue
And I don't know why, I'm so in love with you
But if there were no music
Then I would not get through

I don't know why, I know these things
But I do

I don't know why, but somewhere dreams come true
And I don't know where, but there will be a place for you
And every time you look that way
I would lay down my life for you

I don't know why, I know these things
But I do

I don't know why, but some are going to make you cry
And I don't know how, but I will get you by, I will try
'Cause they're not trying to cause you pain
They're just afraid of loving you

I don't know why, I know these things
But I do

I don't know why, the trees grow so tall
And I don't know why, I don't know anything at all
But if there were no music
Then I would not get through

I don't know why, I know these things
But I do
I don't know why, I know these things
But I do
