Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tell me why Tell me why Think of me When you're far away I'll love you night and day All my tears Coming without fears I'm not a fool to say Now it's time for you and me Can you feel my love? You call my name I do the same Look into my eyes And realize All is for you My love is true Tell me why I can't stay [Chorus] Waiting for you just another day Do you know? Do you mind? Cause my dream will never fade away [Verse 2] Don't give up Gonna hold you tight I will be close to you Think about All those summer nights So what else can I do? Now it's time for you and me Can you feel my love? You call my name I do the same Look into my eyes And realize All is for you My love is true Tell me why I can't stay [Chorus] Waiting for you just another day Do you know? Do you mind? Cause my dream will never fade away [Verse 3] Tell me why I can't stay [Chorus] Waiting for you just another day Do you know? Do you mind? Cause my dream will never fade away [Verse 4] Tell me why... Do you know?... Now it's time for you and me Can you feel my love? You call my name I do the same Look into my eyes And realize All is for you My love is true Tell me why I can't stay [Chorus] Waiting for you just another day Do you know? Do you mind? Cause my dream will never fade away [Verse 5] Tell me why I can't stay [Chorus] Waiting for you just another day Do you know? Do you mind? Cause my dream will never fade away [Outro] (Tell me why) (Tell me why)
