Why Should I Feel Blue Songtext

von Gordon Lightfoot

I saw a moonlit scene I never will forget, I stole a kiss at daybreak, I never did regret it.
Sometimes I wonder why I even try, so why should I feel blue?

I heard the sound of footsteps swaying in the dark,
I poked my head out silent that's how it started.
What to my eyes appeared as dust became a vision, I don't know
What had finally found me with my back against the wall. Was destiny intruding all around me?
And as the day wore on I knew another lonely night could never be.
If there's is a reason you might try and forget, I'd like to find it cause I like to relive it.
Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry so why should I feel blue?

I was caught drifting disappearing from the land, whitecaps in profusion all around me.
But somehow in our eyes I found the strength to sail upon the raging sea.
If there's a reason for the way that life is, I'd like to find it after all who's life is it.
Sometimes I wonder why I even try so why should I feel blue?

What had finally found me with my back against the wall? Was destiny intruding all around me?
And as the days wore on I knew another lonely night with you could never be.
I saw a moonlit scene, I know it was real. All that you can ever do when love is reveal.
Sometimes I every try why I even try so why should I feel blue?
Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry so why should I feel blue?
