OH TELL ME WHY
(anon)

as recorded by Bing Crosby
with John Scott Trotter & his Orchestra
April 28th 1954 Los Angeles



I've some questions, dear,
You can make 'em clear.
For your answers I am yearning,
Like a schoolboy seeking learning.

Although I've searched in vain,
With my might and main,
All the knowledge
Learned at college,
Still that don't explain!

Tell me why nights are lonesome,
Tell me why days are blue.
Tell me why all the sunshine
Comes just at one time,
When I am with you!

Why do I hate to go, dear, 
And I hate to say goodbye?
Now somehow it's always so dear,
And if you know dear,
Tell me why!

Why do I hate to go, dear,
And I hate to say goodbye?
Somehow it's always so dear,
And if you know dear,
Tell me why!
