Why Should I Feel Blue Lyrics - 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 theres 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?
