I don't know why

i don't know why
the sky is so blue
and i don't know why
i'm so in love with you
but if there were no music
then i would not get through
i don't know why
i know these things
but i do

i don't know why
but somewhere dreams come true
and i don't know where
but there will be a place for you
and every time you look that way
i would lay down my life for you
i don't know why
i know these things
but i do

i don't know why
but some are going to make you cry
and i don't know how
but i will get you by
i will try
they're not trying to cause you pain
they're just afraid of loving you
i don't know why
i know these things
but i do

i don't know why
the trees grow so tall
and i don't know why
i don't know anything at all
but if there were no music
then i would not get through
i don't know why
i know these things
but i do
i don't know why
i know these things
but i do
