I wonder why
For Jennifer, Benjamin and Emily
Sometimes I walk to the window
And I look up at the sky
That's when I wonder, oh when I wonder why
Sometimes I look up at the stars
And then my heart does cry
That's when I wonder, oh when I wonder why
Sometimes I think about all that's happened
And then I release a tired sigh
That's when I wonder, oh when I wonder why
Sometimes I stare at the water in the park
And I recall we did not even get to say bye-bye
That's when I wonder, oh when I wonder why
I wonder why, oh I wonder why
I wonder why it had to be this way
Why did our lives invite this disarray
I think about you everyday
So with all my heart I want to say
That a father to you I will always stay
