Tell Me 1919

I've some questions dear,
you can make them clear,
For your answers I am yearning
Like a schoolboy
seeking learning,
Altho' I searched in vein
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'm with you.
Why do I hate to go dear
and hate to say goodbye?
Now somehow
it's always so, dear,
and if you know, dear,
please tell me why.

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'm with you.
Why do I hate to go dear
and hate to say goodbye?
Now somehow
it's always so, dear,
and if you know, dear,
please tell me why.

Ev'ry time we meet
My heart starts to beat,
Sorrows vanish,
cares go winging
all around me
birds are singing
and when we say goodbye
something makes me sigh
life grows weary
days grow dreary,
Can you tell me why...

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'm with you.
Why do I hate to go dear
and hate to say goodbye?
Now somehow
it's always so, dear,
and if you know, dear,
please tell me why.

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'm with you.
Why do I hate to go dear
and hate to say goodbye?
Now somehow
it's always so, dear,
and if you know, dear,
please tell me why.
