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?
