I don't understand it, but this much is true
Believe me, no one caused it but you

Why is there a rainbow in my sky, why
Why, 'cause I found you, that's why
I wonder why am I so happy I could cry, why
Why, 'cause I found you, that's why

What makes my heart beat ever so fast
Am I at last in love
Why does Heaven seem to be nearby, why
Why, 'cause I found you, that's why
