| If I could see your tender smile |
| And hold you close just a little while |
| I’d want this love to last forever |
| And if one day your trembling hands |
| Will touch my lips, I’ll understand |
| And want this love to last forever |
| Why, why, why won’t you tell me |
| Tell me the way you feel |
| Why, why, why |
| Why won’t you hold me |
| And tell me that this love is real |
| If I look in your eyes and see |
| That you shared a tear for me |
| I’d want this love to last forever |
| But then, maybe I’ll get tired of trying |
| To make you love me too |
| And then you’ll want this love to last forever |
| Why, why, why won’t you tell me |
| Tell me the way you feel |
| Why, why, why |
| Why won’t you hold me |
| And tell me that this love is real |
| If I look in your eyes and see |
| That you shared a tear for me |
| I’d want this love to last forever |
| But then, maybe I’ll get tired of trying |
| To make you love me too |
| And then you’ll want this love to last forever |
