I WONDER WHY YOU SAID GOODBYE
(Leon Payne)

Eddie Dean; The Osborne Brothers; 
Larry Sparks; The Wilburn Brothers.


Your letter came, this very day
And it wiped all, my dreams away
I've read it o'er, a thousand times
It’s left me with, a worried mind

CHORUS
I wonder why, you said goodbye
And did you mean, to make me cry
I guess until, the day I die
That I will still, be wondering why.

INSTRUMENTALS

I dread the thought that we are through
And that you've found, somebody new
I love you now, I always will
I'd rather die, than say farewell

CHORUS
I wonder why, you said goodbye
And did you mean, to make me cry
I guess until, the day I die
That I will still, be wondering why.

INSTRUMENTALS

I hope and pray, before my time
That you'll come back, and say you're mine
Bring back the love, you took away
And mend the heart, you broke today

CHORUS
I wonder why, you said goodbye
And did you mean, to make me cry
I guess until, the day I die
That I will still, be wondering why.
