Why do I love you
If lovin' you only mean bitter thoughts
That you are near and yet so far
Why do I love you
If lovin' you only mean sleepless nights
False hopes and dreams of livin' you
REFRAIN
What more can I do but to dream of you
'Cause only there I could hold you close to me
CHORUS
Why do I love you
Why did you hurt my heart that way
Why did you take my love away
Why do I keep on waiting and hopin' yet I know
That you could never be mine again
Why do I long for
The tenderness of your kiss
The warmth of your touch is all I wish but you're so far
[Repeat REFRAIN]
[Repeat CHORUS]
[Repeat last three lines of CHORUS]
