Songbook (DISC 4)

I saw a moonlit scene I never will forget 
I stole a kiss at daybreak, I never did regret it 
Sometimes I wonder why I even try 
So why should I feel blue


I heard the sound of footsteps swaying in the dark 
I poked my head outside and that's how it started 
What to my eyes appeared as dust 
Became a vision I don't know 


What had finally found me with my back against the wall 
Was destiny intruding all around me 
And as the day wore on I knew 
Another lonely night could never be


If there's a reason you might try and forget 
I'd like to find it 'cause I'd like to relive it 
Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry 
So why should I feel blue 


I was caught drifting, disappearing from the land 
Whitecaps in profusion all around me 
But somehow in your eyes I found 
The strength to sail upon that raging sea 


If there's a reason for the way that life is 
I'd like to find it, after all who's life is it 
Sometimes I wonder why I even try 
So why should I feel blue 


What had finally found me with my back against the wall 
Was destiny intruding all around me 
And as the day wore on I knew 
Another lonely night with you would never be 


I saw a moonlit scene, I know it was real 
All that you can ever do with love is reveal it 
Sometimes I wonder why I even try 
So why should I feel blue 
Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry 
So why should I feel blue
