There's a reason for a snowfall
A reason why a tree's tall
A reason why a star is bright
A reason why the moon glows
A reason why the wind blows
A reason why it's dark at night

But I don't know why I should cry
Just because you said goodbye
There must be a reason
I'd like to know why, oh why,
Oh, I'd like to know

There's a reason for a sunbeam
A reason for a daydream
A reason why the desert's dry
A reason why a stream flows
A reason why there's rainbows
A reason for a cloudy sky

But I don't know why I should cry
Just because you said goodbye
There must be a reason
I'd like to know why

There was a time when I could smile
We'd sit and talk of us while,
Times I never doubt your love
And thanked my lucky stars above

There's a reason for a snowfall
A reason why a tree's tall
A reason why a star is bright
A reason why the moon glows
A reason why the wind blows
A reason why it's dark at night

But I don't know why I should cry
Just because you said goodbye
There must be a reason
I'd like to know why
There must be a reason
I'd like to know why 
(Why, oh why, why I'd like to know)
Please tell me why
I wanna know why
