And Sometimes Why

I hoped to be with you today That once again we two might play True friends forever we will stay One thing that will not go away Why A funny thing you’re asking me For there is nothing wrong to see This time I thought it best to be With friend awhile and live care free Why Again persistent question why Pounds at my doors for its reply No longer can my sighs deny A friend who really needs to cry Why For breakfast Mama didn’t show And where she went he didn’t know He didn’t even see her go What made my mother behave so Why I don’t know why I’m telling you With all the pain that you’ve been through We’ve always been like brothers true There nothing that we two can do Why
