Don't Ask Why

Ron Sexsmith


Don't feel the need to get to the bottom of 
The love light in your eyes 
As the leaves fall prey to autumn 
I don't ask why 

Don't give my feelings the third degree 
No need to think twice 
As long as I've got you for me 
I don't ask why 
I don't ask why 

What good would it do me knowing 
How it all works anyway? 
My soul's got its own game going 
I'm just happy to play 

It's said in wisdom there's so much grief 
Why try? 
If the answer brings no relief 
It's better to laugh or cry 

Since worrying don't change a thing 
I don't ask why 

What good would it do me knowing 
How it all works from behind 
My soul's got its own dream going 
I'm just following blind 

It's said in wisdom there's so much grief 
Like a child? 
If the answer brings no relief 
It's better to laugh or cry 

So if we chased the stars and caught 'em 
Now would they still shine? 
Don't feel the need to get to the bottom of 
The lovelight in your eyes 
I don't ask why 
No I don't ask why
