Don't ask me why
I turned the lights on
Tell me not to fear
But don't tell me that I'm wrong
I swear that I saw him in the room
He said "My boy, I'm sorry but I can't stay too long"
I wonder how it is to be loved
By the one that I heard that night
I don't know why
I waited so long
To meet the man
Who never comes at all
Suddenly, 18 years gone
He gave me just one night to sing along
I wonder how it is to be loved
By the on that i heard that night
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why I waited on the light
