OH WHY
(Phil Spector)

Teddy Bears - 1959


As the nights go by, 
I sit alone and wonder why, 
My arms won't free you, 
My heart won't try 
And I ask myself why... oh why? 

You are gone but where? 
I call your name in ev'ry prayer,

I walk alone where we walked together 
And I ask myself why, why, oh why? 

I will cry again, 
Your lips will lie again, 
Stars will never shine 
Until the day you're mine; 

It would be divine 
To find your lips so close to mine, 
I loved you only, 
Now I'm so lonely, 
And I ask myself why... why... oh why?
