Why Must We Cry?

So you go on your way burning bridges as you cross them, and without a glance

Seek out and find a new circle, begin to perform a new dance.

The spotlight is shining upon you as you swirl around on your stage.

Quickly now, find a new partner. The book now moves on one more page.

 

(ch) Why must we cry? Why must love die?

Why can’t our love rise again?

Why must we cry? If we just try

Our love can fly again

 

(break)

 

There’s a moment you sometimes remember, so long ago now it seems.

Lovers embrace in a moonbeam, dear friends sharing their dreams.

 

(ch.- partial) Why must we cry? If we just try

Our love can fly again.

 

(break)

 

The bridge to my heart is forever so long as a moonbeam is cast.

A kind hand from someone who loves you to help you over rocks in your path

Now my eyes are beginning to water, I take one last look and I turn.

I feel your love slip through my fingers, but I did not want to see that bridge burn.

 

(ch) Why? Tell me why? Why must we cry?

Why can’t our love rise again?

Why must we cry? If we both try

Our love can fly again.

 

(short instrumental bit, and final line):

 

Our love will fly again.
