Can't Tell You The Reason Why

Refrain:

I can't tell you the reason why the rivers run

I can't tell you why the earth rolls round the sun

I can't tell you the reason why the sky is blue

I can't tell you why I fell in love with you

I was trying so hard to stay away

Even though I came to see you every day

My intentions were just to be your friend

Ain’t it funny how the river takes a bend  (Refrain)

Sippin’ summer with a little twist of lime

We were singing songs and working overtime

I didn't know that doing that would lead to this

Was it me or was it you that stole that kiss (Refrain)

And I can’t tell you why

The stars are shining in the sky, so high

Like sweet honey from the flower and the bee

Our love is just a mystery (Refrain)
