Why did you leave? *
Why?
I am restless
Yet, I so want to hold you
In my arms
Why aren’t you there
To say how beautiful the moonlight's tonight?
Why aren’t you there
To see my heart,
In pieces?

Why did you leave?
Why?
I am restless
Yet, I so want to hold you
In my arms
I thought of you all my life
In hopes of being with you,
someday

Give me a different kind of wine tonight
The Kind from the chalice of truth
Intoxicate this broken heart, and
Make it oblivious of both worlds
Why did you leave?
Why?
