Why Should I Feel Blue

(album: Songbook - 1999)

I saw a moonlit scene I never will forget
I stole a kiss at daybreak, I never did regret it
Sometimes I wonder why I even try
So why should I feel blue

I heard the sound of footsteps swaying in the dark
I poked my head outside and that's how it started
What to my eyes appeared as dust
Became a vision I don't know

What had finally found me with my back against the wall
Was destiny intruding all around me
And as the day wore on I knew
Another lonely night could never be

If there's a reason you might try and forget
I'd like to find it 'cause I'd like to relive it
Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry
So why should I feel blue

I was caught drifting, disappearing from the land
Whitecaps in profusion all around me
But somehow in your eyes I found
The strength to sail upon that raging sea

If there's a reason for the way that life is
I'd like to find it, after all who's life is it
Sometimes I wonder why I even try
So why should I feel blue

What had finally found me with my back against the wall
Was destiny intruding all around me
And as the day wore on I knew
Another lonely night with you could never be

I saw a moonlit scene, I know it was real
All that you can ever do with love is reveal it
Sometimes I wonder why I even try
So why should I feel blue
Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry
So why should I feel blue
