We've always been so close together
Doing things that only best friends do
Always there for one another
Through the bad times and the good
The other night you held me close
Need to know did we just cross the line
This other side just feels so right
Won't you tell me why

[CHORUS:]
Why? Why?
Why from friends to
Lovers take so long?
Now that you've come around
Finally found a love so strong
Why? Why?
Why were you so near
And yet so far?
How could I be so blind
When all the time
I was in your heart

For so long I've been searching
For that love that I could call my own
Now I know I was only waiting
For the face I've always known
I believe what Heaven is
Just like this every time we kiss
And deep inside I feel so high
Won't you tell me why

[Repeat chorus]

Now when I stop and think about it
How could I ever live without
Your warm and tender touch
I needed it so much

[Repeat chorus]

[Repeat chorus]
Why were you so near to me
when all this time I could not see
Finally found a love so strong
Can we can we can we just carry on
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Tell me why

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Tell me why
Why it take so long
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Tell me
