You and I gotta think for a while
Look to the sky, gotta decide if we're gonna see tomorrow
You and I gotta look to the sky
Are we gonna die wondering why
Life ain't nothing but sorrow?
'Cus it's gonna be a while till I get to see you smile
And you gotta let me know
Oh baby, don't go

Never met a girl like you before
I don't think I ever will again
Why don't you smile? Why don't you smile?
Never thought I'd see you walkin' out that door
I don't think I ever will again
Why don't you sing? Why can't you sing, why can't you sing?
