Key of G

Chorus

I don’t know why it is that I love you
I don’t know why it is that I cry
You have gone and now you love another
That’s why I cry I don’t know why.

Verse

There was a day  a sunny day
When you declared your love for me
But now you’ve turned  from me away
Your childish vows no more I’ll see.

Verse

When summertime has come and gone
You’ll need a friend who’s heart is true
You’ll find yourself so all alone
And then you’ll know what I’ve gone through.
